I’ve been playing around with different macro lenses. Can you guess which lens I used for which picture of a native compassplant (Silphium laciniatum)?



In no particular order, the lenses used are:

  • Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8 D
  • Nippon Kogaku (Nikon) El-Nikkor 80mm 1:5.6
  • Tokina AT-X Macro 90mm 1:2.5

All three photos were shot around f/8.0, handheld on a bright windy day with some clouds using a Nikon D70 set for automatic white balance and manual exposure.

Oh, and no looking at the EXIF data.
