Pick Model A if you need a wider-angle zoom for general photography and closer focusing distances at 28mm, or if the brighter f/3.5 aperture at the wide end is essential. Model B stays the better choice if your priority is telephoto reach up to 300mm or you want to save roughly half the budget while still gaining macro capability.
