Verdict
Pick Model A if you need the wider 28 mm start, the extra 25 mm reach at the long end, or the brighter f/3.5 maximum aperture at the wide setting—all for a modest 10 EUR premium. Model B stays the better choice if budget is tight and you can work within its 35–80 mm range and slightly dimmer f/4 maximum aperture.
