The $2,000 Bokeh Monster | Laowa 200mm f/2

#NikonZ #Laowa #PortraitPhotography #200mmf2 #NikonZ8 #Photography Is this the lens Nikon Z users have been waiting for? The Laowa 200mm f/2 "Dreamer" brings that legendary, creamy prime look specifically to the Z mount—no FTZ adapter required. In this review, I test the final production version of the Laowa 200mm f/2 on the Nikon Z8 to see if it can truly replace the heavy, discontinued Nikkor 200mm f/2. We look at autofocus speed in low light, the unique build quality, and most importantly, why a 70-200mm f/2.8 simply cannot compete with this "cinematic" look. +3 At $2,000, is this the ultimate portrait lens for the Nikon Z system? Let's find out.
