Optical Limits published its full review of the Laowa 200mm f/2, and you can read it in full here, or you can check out the excerpt below:

Pros

  1. Exceedingly sharp from f/2.8
  2. Outstanding build quality
  3. Baffling price tag for such a lens

Cons

  1. A correction profile for image distortions would have been nice
  2. Somewhat elevated lateral CAs at f/2
