The specifications for both lenses show the exact same MFD at 0.28m and maximum magnification of 1.4x but the Sigma focuses much closer than the Sony in both AF and MF throughout the entire range. It has noticeably higher reproduction ratio.
That's a significant plus for the Sigma not just for photographing smaller objects, but potentially also for extreme near-far focus-stacked landscapes. It's odd the specs quote the same MFD. Do you have a rough idea on what you think they actually are?
** I just had a quick look at my Sigma, and ballpark I think MFD its not much over 20cm at the wide end and maybe 23cm at the long end.
