Verdict
Pick Model A if you need the longer 100 mm reach for greater working distance and stronger background separation; its 600 g weight is the trade-off. Choose Model B if you prefer the lighter, more compact 50 mm focal length for tighter spaces or lower cost, accepting the closer minimum focus distance and less telephoto compression.
