Verdict
Pick the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 if you need an ultra-wide perspective for landscapes, architecture, or tight interiors and can work with its f/2.8 maximum aperture. Choose the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 if shallow depth-of-field portraits or low-light shooting is your priority and you prefer a standard-telephoto field of view—its faster f/1.4 aperture and slightly longer reach justify the higher price. The Laowa stays the better choice if budget is tight or ultra-wide angles are essential.
