Pick the Laowa 58mm if you need a slightly wider field of view and prioritize 2:1 magnification for extreme close-ups. The Sigma 70mm stays the better choice if you prefer a longer working distance, standard 1:1 macro reproduction, or want a more traditional focal length for general use. Both share the same price and maximum aperture, so the decision hinges solely on focal length and magnification needs.
