Pick the Laowa 9mm if you need an ultra-wide prime for landscapes, architecture, or tight interiors and can work with its slower f/5.6 aperture. The Sigma 28mm stays the better choice if you prioritize low-light performance, subject isolation, or a more versatile mid-wide focal length with its fast f/1.4 aperture. Budget is effectively equal, so the decision hinges solely on focal length and aperture needs.
