  • the weather is part of the job. Only this one is sealed against dust and moisture.
  • weight matters to you. It is 275 g lighter, roughly 22% less to carry.

Everything above comes from published specifications. How sharp each lens is, how quickly it focuses and what its pictures look like are not in any spec sheet, so this comparison does not try to judge them.
