Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a brighter f/2.8 aperture at the wide end and a versatile 28-80mm range for low-light or general photography. Choose Model B if budget and telephoto reach (75-300mm) are priorities, and you can accept the slower f/4-5.6 aperture and heavier weight. Model A remains the better choice for wider angles and faster performance, while Model B suits tight budgets and distant subjects.
