Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a wider starting focal length for landscapes or tight spaces and prefer a brighter maximum aperture at the wide end for better low-light performance. Model B stays the better choice if you prioritize longer reach for subjects like wildlife or sports, and the higher price aligns with your budget for extended telephoto capability.
