Laowa Proteus Zoom 2X Anamorphic 26-45mm T2.9 - Silver - PL + EF | Cinematic framing across a flexible zoom range

Your footage gets the broad, cinematic perspective of an anamorphic image while retaining room to adjust framing during a take. The Laowa Proteus Zoom 2X Anamorphic 26-45mm T2.9 is an interchangeable cinema lens for filmmakers who want that widescreen character without being locked to one focal length. Its 26–45mm zoom range lets you move from a more open establishing view to a tighter portrait or detail, with less need to swap lenses mid-scene. The 2X anamorphic format gives the image its distinctive squeezed capture, which you'll need to de-squeeze in monitoring or post to view in the intended widescreen proportions. That makes it a considered option for narrative work, music videos and other productions where composition and lens character are part of the visual plan. It's best suited to crews comfortable with manual lens operation and an anamorphic workflow; it rewards deliberate framing rather than quick, automatic shooting.

Specialist Note

The Laowa Proteus Zoom is at its best when you want to keep a controlled, cinematic look through a changing shot. Its T2.9 maximum aperture gives you room to manage exposure as light falls; for an indoor dialogue scene, you can start at T2.9 and adjust ISO to suit your camera and lighting. Manual focus makes it a lens for planned focus pulls: mark near and far points before a move rather than expecting autofocus to follow the action. I’d recommend it to filmmakers who have time to set focus and can monitor an anamorphic image. The trade-off is an extra de-squeeze step in the viewing and post-production workflow.
