Verdict
Pick the Laowa 60mm if you need a more compact, wider-aperture lens for close-up work in tight spaces or lower light. Choose the Sigma 180mm if your subjects demand greater working distance, telephoto compression, or you prioritize the longer reach over the brighter aperture. Both deliver 1:1 magnification at the same price, so the decision hinges solely on focal length and aperture needs.
