I took a picture I like with my C330. I'm trying to figure out which lens I took it with. Luckily, it was a picture of a mirror. But a small one. That day, when taking pictures, I had two lenses: A black 65mm and the 180mm Super. Both have chrome rings and look similar in a head-on view. Here's the picture. Which lens do you guys think I took it with?:

180mm, the perspective is wrong for the 65mm lens. The wide angle lens would have distorted the tires that close up.

180mm - based on the apparent perspective.
But if you can remember how far you were away from the broken mirror, I could give you a more informed guess.

No matter which lens you would have used the perspective will be the same with all lenses from where you stood. The angle of view is too narrow for a 65mm lens, so you used the longer lens.
