Sigma vs Laowa: 200mm f/2 lens comparison by Christopher Frost

His thoughts in short:

The Laowa 200mm f/2 offers outstanding value for money at $2000. It’s lighter, sharp stopped down, and produces beautiful bokeh, though autofocus is only average and it lacks image stabilization. The Sigma 200mm f/2 is a more professional lens overall. It costs $3300, but justifies it with:

• Sharper image quality at f/2
• Faster, more reliable autofocus
• Optical image stabilization
• Superior build quality

If you’re on a budget and want great results, go Laowa. If you’re a pro needing top-tier performance, go Sigma.
