Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a fast telephoto prime for portraits, sports, or low-light action—its 200mm reach and f/1.8 aperture outshine in isolating subjects. Choose Model B if wide-angle versatility and razor-sharp optical performance at f/1.4 are critical for landscapes, architecture, or environmental shots. Budget is nearly identical, so the decision hinges solely on focal length needs. Neither lens compromises on build or speed, making them top-tier choices within their respective categories.
