Test Nikon lenses for Philippe : 50mm vs 50-200mm vs 18-70mm

The goal for the test was to evaluate if you are better to shot the same scene with shorter but better lens for a subject far away from you.

The camera was at the same position on a tripod. Same camera setting : Aperture priority F/8.0.

Lenses :

50-200mm At 95mm (DSC_7746.jpg) 6MPx.
50mm (DSC_7747.jpg) already cropped by Phillipe
18-70mm at 70mm (DSC_7748.jpg) already cropped by Phillipe

I have not took the picture, this is three files that Philippe (co-worker) has gave to me.

Processed in Lightroom:

1- Crop to the same part of the image (Same proportion and subject) and try to balance lighting and WB.
2- Upscale the two smaller to the same size of the larger one
3- Crop different part of each image at the same location
