Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a telephoto reach for portraits or distant subjects and can work with its narrower field of view. Choose Model B if you prioritize ultra-wide-angle coverage for landscapes, architecture, or tight spaces, where its 14mm focal length is more versatile. Both share the same aperture and near-identical price, so the decision hinges solely on your framing needs. Neither holds an advantage in cost or light-gathering capability.
