Pick Model A if you need a single lens that covers ultra-wide to super-telephoto (18-300mm) at a lower price and don’t mind its heavier weight. Model B stays the better choice if you prioritize longer reach (up to 400mm) and a lighter setup, accepting its narrower focal range (120-400mm) and higher cost.
