Laowa 200mm f/2 AF lens power

Posted on Jan 14, 2026 by Pro Moviemaker

It’s taken 21 years for any new 200mm f/2 AF lens to hit the market, and now there are two!

Hot on the heels of the Sigma version, Laowa has revealed its own 200mm f/2 AF lens.

The £2999/$3299 Sigma is made for mirrorless in Sony E and Leica L-Mount, while the $1799 full-frame Laowa 200mm f/2 AF FF comes in Sony E, Nikon Z and Canon EF for DSLR diehards. Mirrorless variants are $1999 – no UK price yet.

The Laowa version is around 200g lighter and 30mm shorter than the Sigma and the mirrorless versions come with a built-in 43mm filter holder. The Sigma has a more advanced optical build and more iris blades for smoother bokeh.
