In this case photos really are worth a thousand words.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for what lens, yes, may use macros, but they aren&#039;t the only option, nor is a DSLR even necessary to produce quality coin images. Some here use a DSLR/bellows setup, while others use DSLR/macro, and others a simple point and shoot (among others), but no matter what one chooses to use, both understanding and knowing how to get the most from one&#039;s camera (which is a tool) is just as if not more important than the equipment used. If one is on a budget, slapping diopters on a kit lens can often yield suitable results, as can other options such as lens reversal. There are many past threads here on the subject, so if of interest you may enjoy checking them out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
