Verdict
Pick the Nikon 60 mm f/2.8 if you need a true 1:1 macro working distance and a slightly longer reach; its 60 mm focal length is optimized for close-up subjects. Choose the Sigma 50 mm f/1.4 if shallow depth-of-field and low-light performance are priorities—its f/1.4 aperture gathers more light and delivers stronger background separation. Budget-conscious buyers may favor the Sigma, given its lower used price of 204 EUR.
