People in Krabi

These photos were shot using three different Nikon lenses. See if you can tell which lens took which picture?

The lenses used were the D70 18-70mm f/4.5 Kit Lens, the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 - a perennial favorite for portraiture, and the venerable Nikon 180mm f/2.8, an old favorite that still holds its own against the newer and auto-focusing Nikon 70-210mm f/2.8 VR.

After Nikon launched its auto-focusing lenses, manual lenses have been relegated to the history books. Like zoom lenses, fixed focus lenses also will not be around much longer, though many will disagree.

Today's zoom lenses equal or even improved on old lenses' designs, to the extent that fixed-focus lenses are usually left behind in the dry cabinet over their newer cousins.

Zooms are an indispensable feature in photo-composition. Especially when one comes across a scene that is unlikely to repeat itself.
