Verdict
Pick Model A if you need the extra reach to 120 mm and a lighter wallet—its 24 mm wide end and VR are handy for travel and low-light shots without a tripod. Choose Model B if you prioritize a faster f/2.8 aperture for shallow depth-of-field and better low-light performance, and can live with the tighter 28-70 mm range. Model A stays the better choice if budget is tight or versatility matters more; Model B remains the pick if speed and image quality at wider apertures are non-negotiable.
