For the next versatility comparison, the famed clock tower of Kuala Lumpur's Sultan Abdul Samad building against the backdrop of the capital city's skylines, which included the Headquarters of the Bumiputra-Commerce Bank (left side of first photo below) as well as the Petronas Twin Towers and the KL Tower. This photo was photographed with the EF 135mm prime lens. There's nothing unusual about this, right? Yes, that's right, nothing unusual. Read on. Shot with EF 135mm Shot with EF 200mm The second photo of the same scene but narrower angle-of-view, was shot with the EF 200mm lens. What I am trying to show here is if you only have either of the two EF prime lenses, these are the angles-of-view that you have to be contented with. Of course, if you have both, then for this situation, it won't be a problem. On the other hand, if you have the EF 70-200m f/2.8L USM zoom lens, neither photo would be a problem, either. Okay, now look at another angle of the clock tower from these photos below. The first one was shot with the EF 200mm and the second by the EF 135mm lens. The sizes of the clock tower and the dome tower next to it were slightly different due to the varying shooting distance they were both shot in. Shot by EF 200mm Shot by EF 135mm With the 200mm lens, I was able to get the shot from a further distance, thereby including the Bumiputra-Commerce Hq in the background as well. In order to get similar sizes of the towers to match those in the 200mm photo, I had to get closer to them but that had resulted in the banking Hq disappearing from view altogether. Because I have both of the prime lenses with me, it wasn't much of a problem to get both shots. But if you only have one of the two lenses, well, you will need to do what I did. The EF 70-200L zoom would have enabled me to get the shots without the need to get closer. Now look at these photos of the main attraction of the National Monument - the sculptures of Malaysian soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country during the Emergency era. They were photographed with the EF 70-200L zoom lens at its 70mm, 100mm, 135mm and 200mm settings respectively. You have four focal lengths to choose from with this EF-L zoom lens, at the speed and versatility that cannot be matched by prime lenses, even if you have all the four matching focal lengths as this zoom lens possesses.
