Verdict
Pick Model A if you need an ultra-wide-angle zoom for landscapes, architecture, or tight interiors and can accept a modest f/4.5 maximum aperture. Choose Model B if your priority is extreme telephoto reach for wildlife or sports and you’re willing to trade wider angles and a slightly higher price for 500 mm capability.
