<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1688529, member: 36248&quot;]Interesting, I never thought about it like that.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have a 50mm fixed macro lens, but it is dx, not fx, so with the crop factor it&#039;s more like a 75mm.&nbsp;&nbsp; So when you say 100mm macro, I assume you mean dx (in Canon speak I think they call it APSC), and this really a 160mm equivalent?&nbsp; Certainly with a 160mm you are telephoto so you can get back from the coin and allow more light in.&nbsp;&nbsp; In my case, this is less true.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would say that one of the biggest selling points on many macro lens is the close focusing, so I never really thought about how that could be a disadvantage in coin photography, but you are making a lot of sense.&nbsp; Obviously your coin pics speak for themselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
