Pick Model A if you need a wider 24 mm focal length, built-in image stabilization, and a more conventional sharpness profile for general photography. Choose Model B if you prefer a brighter f/1.6 aperture, a dreamy soft-focus look at wider apertures, and the 56 mm focal length fits your creative needs—all at a lower price.
