<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2416988, member: 1892"]Not only do you not need a macro lens for slab shots, you don't_want_one. Field of view is far too small to accommodate an entire slab. Heck, for insurance shoot the dang shots handheld with the kit lens, autofocus and IS. The slab itself establishes the grade/value; you don't need high-resolution studies of the individual coin contained therein. For raw coins and insurance purposes, you <b>do</b> want the resolution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
