Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a brighter f/2.8 aperture for low light or shallow depth-of-field, and a more versatile 70-200mm range for general use. Choose Model B if your priority is reaching distant subjects with its 500mm telephoto reach, and you can work with a slower variable aperture. Model A stays the better choice if budget is a concern, as it’s more affordable despite its premium specs.
