Building upon the acclaimed Proteus optical design, these lenses achieve remarkable performance while offering unprecedented creative control. Each lens maintains exceptional sharpness and precise colour rendition, complemented by classic 2X squeeze characteristics and pronounced elliptical bokeh. The groundbreaking interchangeable flare system enables cinematographers to adapt the lens's signature look to each production's specific requirements, from bold coloured streaks to subtle, elegant reflections.

Advanced optical engineering ensures consistent performance across all configurations. The constant T2 aperture provides dramatic depth control with elegant focus roll-off, while minimal breathing preserves composition during focus transitions. With close focusing capability down to 55cm, cinematographers can explore intimate framing options while maintaining the signature anamorphic look.

Precision mechanics enhance production efficiency through thoughtful design. Unified gear positions and matching 114mm front diameter streamline accessory compatibility, while built-in back focus adjustment eliminates time-consuming calibration procedures. The flare modules can be exchanged quickly and securely, requiring no optical realignment after installation.

Proteus Flex 2X Anamorphic Series

Flex – Ease with Flare

Each Proteus Flex includes the main Proteus body plus 4 interchangeable flare modules in amber, silver, blue, and clear variants. Filmmakers and rental houses can easily swap these modules on location to match specific production requirements for any project, from sci-fi films to music videos and commercials.

One 4 All and All 4 One

With the flexibility and versatility to change the flare colour, the new Proteus Flex effectively turns a set of Proteus anamorphic lenses into 4 different sets. Filmmakers can swap between blue, amber, silver and clear flare options to bring the desired aesthetic touch to the scenes.

Mesmerizing Clear Flare

Apart from the colored flare versions, the Proteus Flex includes a brand-new flare coating – Clear Flare. It produces minimal horizontal flare even when shooting towards strong lights. This unique character is for DP who wants a cleaner and more elegant look.

Quick And Easy Swap

Flare modules can be easily installed, exchanged, and secured to the precision-engineered main Proteus body. Each module is pre-calibrated to match its specific lens body, eliminating the need for optical adjustments after swapping. The entire process can be done on location within 10 minutes, avoiding time-consuming shipments to service centers.
