Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a fast telephoto zoom for low-light or shallow depth-of-field work and can accept its larger size and weight. Choose Model B if you want a lightweight, budget-friendly walk-around lens with vibration reduction and a wider starting focal length for everyday shooting. Model A stays the better choice if telephoto reach and constant f/2.8 speed are critical, while Model B remains the smarter pick for general use on a tighter budget.
