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 lbs) (Canon EF), 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.

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.
