Verdict
Pick the Samyang 100mm f/2.8 if you need a lightweight, fixed focal-length macro lens at a lower price and don’t require zoom flexibility. Choose the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 if you prioritize a versatile zoom range for macro and general telephoto use, and are willing to pay the higher cost. The Samyang stays the better choice if budget is tight or true 1:1 magnification is essential, while the Sigma remains ideal if you value focal-length adaptability.
