Laowa 58mm f 2 8 2x ultra macro apo vs laowa 60mm f 2 8 2x ultra macro?

These two are close cousins: both are full-frame 2X macros at f/2.8, both are manual focus, and neither has stabilisation. The deciding factor is almost always your mount.

If you shoot Canon RF, Nikon Z or L-Mount, the Laowa 58mm f/2.8 2X Ultra-Macro APO is your option. If you shoot Canon EF, Nikon F or Pentax K, the Laowa 60mm f/2.8 2X Ultra-Macro is the one for you. Sony E shoppers can choose either.

The 60mm page says it also focuses to infinity, so if you want one lens that handles close-up work and some distant subjects, I'd lean towards it. The 58mm page doesn't make that claim. On a crop sensor, both lenses give a short-telephoto view, so they're best suited to close-up subjects. Check the camera list on each page to confirm your body is covered.
