I was about to offer:

   <nikon.lens>

as I thought Len was talking about visual cues to users rather than 
information capture. But I like the attribute approach better. Fwiw, 
there seems to be more (explicit) information with the attribute (if 
you look at it in an RDFish way as <subject property="value"/>. 
There's also opportunity to do searches and sorts with such attributes.
