Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a brighter f/1.8 aperture for low-light shooting or a wider 28mm field of view for environmental shots. Choose Model B if you prefer the softer, dreamy look of the Velvet 56mm at f/1.6 or require the tighter 56mm framing for portraits—provided the 20 EUR premium fits your budget.
