Verdict
Pick the Laowa 60mm if you need true 2:1 macro reproduction and a constant f/2.8 aperture for consistent close-up performance. The Sigma 17-70mm stays the better choice if you prioritize a versatile zoom range, lower cost, and built-in stabilization for general shooting alongside occasional macro work.
