Here is some additional information on the upcoming Venus Optics Laowa AF FF 200mm f/2 C-Dreamer lens (check the Laowa website for future updates):

AF Speed

The video clip is from Laowa. It demonstrates switching between distant and nearby objects; considering practical usage scenarios, this should be faster. According to Laowa, among the AF200 prototypes they are currently manufacturing, the EF version boasts the fastest autofocus speed, followed by the Z mount, while the E-mount version is the slowest. However, they did not disclose the camera bodies used in their testing, so this statement should be treated as indicative only.

Mount Versions

The confirmed versions at present are: EF, E, Z. The GFX version is likely also on the roadmap, though it will follow somewhat later. When asked whether the GFX version would feature autofocus, Laowa did not give a direct answer, but it may well be included. No F-mount. A user inquired whether an L-mount version would be produced. Laowa responded that they ‘have the capability to do so,’ but noted they had enquired about L-mount licensing, with the licensing fees appearing to be quite substantial. However, the EF-mount version can be used on L-mount bodies via an adapter. They are considering releasing a manual focus PL-mount version in the future. The aperture ring on this lens can be switched between stepped and stepless operation. This should be welcome news for users who shoot both stills and moving images.

Filters and Extenders

The E and Z versions retain space for rear filters. The EF does not, presumably due to insufficient space. Laowa has not designed dedicated extenders for it, but they indicate that using genuine Canon extenders may be worth trying.

Colors

There are currently no plans for a white lens barrel, though (third-party manufacturers) may offer protective films or “skins”.
