Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a lightweight, standard prime for everyday shooting and prefer a more natural field of view. Choose Model B if you prioritize ultra-wide-angle coverage for landscapes or architecture and can accept the lack of autofocus. Both share the same price and maximum aperture, so the decision hinges solely on focal length needs.
