In this interview, the Laowa manager revealed that the upcoming Laowa 200mm f/2.0 FE will cost just $1999 — a full $1,300 cheaper than the Sigma 200mm FE!

For that price folks…I will buy one and you?

Either way, better safe than sorry — if you’ve been eyeing a Sony camera or lens, now’s the time to grab one while the deals are still on!
