Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a single, versatile zoom for travel or all-in-one shooting and can accept the slower aperture at longer focal lengths. Model B stays the better choice if you prioritize a brighter f/2.8 aperture for low light or shallower depth of field and don’t require focal lengths beyond 50 mm.
