Delivering incredible background separation, stunning compression, and outstanding low-light performance, the Laowa 200mm f/2 opens up new creative and affordable possibilities for portrait, sports, and event shooters who demand flagship-level results without flagship-level costs.
High-End Optics Within Reach
For years, the 200mm f/2 lens has been the holy grail—revered for its power, but out of reach for many. Laowa was built on a different belief: that exceptional creativity demands exceptional tools, not an exceptional price. We’re making the dream lens a reality.

Its bold bokeh and powerful compression create striking three-dimensional effects, making subjects stand out against beautifully soft backgrounds—perfect for portraits, sports, or storytelling.
Lighter Than Others in Its Class
At just 1.59 kg (3.74 lb), the Laowa 200mm f/2 is a lightweight powerhouse. Most lenses in this class weigh ~1.8 kg to 3 kg, making long shoots tiring and cumbersome. With Laowa, you get professional 200mm optics without the heavy load, so you can move freely, shoot comfortably, and focus entirely on your creativity.
Precise Autofocus
Designed for speed and precision, the Laowa 200mm f/2 features fast, highly accurate autofocus that locks onto subjects with ease—even in motion. Whether you’re capturing sports, wildlife, or fast-paced events, its responsive AF system ensures you never miss the moment.
Short Focusing Distance
The closest focusing distance is 4.92 ft (150 cm), which is the shortest among lenses with similar specifications from other brands. A shorter focusing distance allows you to move closer to your subject, making it easier to capture small objects or fine details with clarity. It also enhances background blur, helping your subject stand out with stronger separation and smoother bokeh. This flexibility makes the lens more versatile for both creative close-ups and mid-range compositions.
43mm Rear Filter Holder
The built-in 43mm rear filter holder offers photographers a practical and cost-effective solution for using ND and other creative filters. As a compact alternative to bulky 105mm front filters, it delivers the same professional-grade results while reducing both weight and expense—streamlining your workflow and enhancing flexibility on the go.
Note: This feature is only available on Sony E and Nikon Z mount lenses. The filter thickness must be less than 1.5mm.
