Verdict
Pick Model A if you need the longer telephoto reach (200 mm) and a lower price, or if you already own a wide-angle lens. Model B stays the better choice if you prioritize a brighter maximum aperture (f/2.8) at the wide end and a broader focal range starting at 18 mm for general-purpose shooting.
