Verdict
Pick the Samyang 100mm f/2.8 if you need true 1:1 macro reproduction, a brighter f/2.8 aperture for subject isolation, or a compact prime for dedicated close-up work. Choose the Sigma 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 if versatility across wide-angle to super-telephoto focal lengths matters more, or if you prefer a single lens for travel and casual macro shots without changing glass. The Sigma stays the better choice if you value optical stabilization and autofocus, while the Samyang remains the sharper, faster option for pure macro performance at the same price.
