Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a telephoto reach for subjects like sports, wildlife, or portraits and can accept a narrower field of view. Model B stays the better choice if you prioritize ultra-wide-angle coverage for landscapes, architecture, or tight interiors and don’t require long focal lengths. The price difference favors Model B for budget-conscious buyers, but only if its 12-24mm range aligns with your shooting needs.
