Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a fast, ultra-wide-aperture 50mm prime for low-light or shallow depth-of-field work and budget is no concern. Choose Model B if your priority is extreme telephoto reach for wildlife or sports, and you can accept the slower f/4 aperture at a significantly higher price.
