Venus Laowa 200mm f/2 AF FF Telephoto Lens Black Nikon Z

The Laowa 200mm f/2 AF FF is designed for full-frame cameras, brings one of the most coveted focal lengths into reach. Traditionally, 200mm f/2 lenses have been ultra-expensive and out of reach for most photographers, reserved for only a few professionals.

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.

Fast. Precise. Accessible.

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.

The Laowa 200mm AF makes professional results accessible. Engineered for razor-sharp clarity, creamy bokeh, and exquisite depth of field, it's the versatile tool for portraiture, wildlife, and cinematic storytelling. We built it with one goal: to deliver uncompromising image quality, so you can create without limits.

Ultra-Large f/2 Aperture
This lens is equipped with an ultra-large f/2 aperture that delivers both speed and versatility. The bright aperture allows you to use faster shutter speeds to capture moving subjects with precision and clarity. It also performs exceptionally well in low-light environments, producing clean and detailed images without the need to raise ISO.

Large Bokeh Effect
Engineered with an ultra-large f/2 aperture, this lens delivers exceptional speed and creative flexibility. Capture fast-moving subjects with sharpness and precision, even in low light, while maintaining clean, detailed images.

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
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.

Well-Controlled Chromatic Aberration
The lens is designed to minimize chromatic aberration, ensuring sharp edges, accurate colors, and clean image quality even in high-contrast scenes.

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

FN Buttons
The FN button allows you to assign a frequently used function for quick access, such as ISO, white balance, autofocus mode, or drive mode.

Full / 5m-Infinite Focus Range
The Full setting allows the lens to use the entire focusing range, while the 5m-Infinite setting limits autofocus to subjects that are at least 5 meters away. Limiting the focus range in this way can speed up autofocus, making it easier to track distant subjects quickly and accurately.

Focus Mode Switch
Seamlessly toggle between Auto Focus (AF) and Manual Focus (MF) to match your shooting style and creative intent.

Adjustable Lens Support
Loosen the knob to adjust the position of the lens support, making it easier to change the orientation of your camera while maintaining stability.
