Verdict
Pick Model A if you need the extra 5 mm reach at the tele end and don’t mind the lack of built-in stabilization. Model B stays the better choice if optical stabilization is essential for your handheld shooting or if the slightly lighter weight and marginally shorter focal length better suit your framing needs.
