The Best Lens for the Job

This afternoon,I borrowed my wife's Mothers Day orchids for a quick available light photo session.  To make things more interesting, I decided to use several different focal lengths and then compare the results.

I started out with a 135mm lens.

 My second lens was a 200mm.

Finally I moved to a 400mm lens. 

 

 

While each lens performed well, I found that the 400mm produced results I liked the best.  It wasn't the easiest to use - I had to move to the other side of the room to focus and the angle of my shots was more limited.
