[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 4609861, member: 19165"]This is perfectly correct. Especially with a zoom lens. I have an adjustable copy stand, and for small coins I often put the camera closer to the coin so that it takes up more of the image, and back it off for larger coins. If you're too far away for a small coin, you'll be taking an image of a lot of wasted space that you're just going to crop out.
