<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2065970, member: 19463&quot;]While I agree that dedicated macro lenses are great for coin and I use a Canon 100mm macro for my coin photos, one point of my page was that you can shoot good pictures with the kit lens that comes with most DSLR&#039;s (often 18-55mm).&nbsp; These can not fill the frame with a small coin but that is not necessary since there is enough image quality to spare to allow cropping.&nbsp; Eventually you will probably want to buy a macro lens, extension tubes <u>or</u> accessory + diopter close up lenses (one, not all) but that should not stop you from using the DSLR you have for shooting vacations and kids.&nbsp; Coins are not the easiest thing to shoot with any camera but a little practice and paying attention to details will do wonders without spending huge amounts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
