Verdict
Pick Model A if you need the extra reach (105 mm vs. 55 mm) and can accept a slightly dimmer maximum aperture at the long end for 20 EUR less. Model B stays the better choice if you prioritize a wider starting angle (18 mm vs. 35 mm) and built-in stabilization, despite its shorter telephoto limit.
