Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a fast telephoto zoom for portraits, sports, or low-light shooting—its constant f/2.8 aperture and 80-200mm range deliver superior reach and brightness. Choose Model B if ultra-wide coverage is critical for landscapes or architecture, as its 12-24mm focal length offers a unique perspective despite the slower aperture. Model A stays the better choice if versatility in low light or subject isolation is a priority, while Model B wins for expansive scenes where maximum field of view outweighs aperture limitations.
