<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1455686, member: 19463&quot;]While I know nothing about Nikons, using my Canons I prefer a longer focal length for coins since that increases the distance from lens to coin and allows better flexibility in lighting.&nbsp; Macro lenses are sharper but most of us don&#039;t make large prints of coins and if you are downsizing for even the largest web use you will never see the difference.&nbsp; Another thing is that macro lenses tend to have a flatter field and more even sharpness to the corners which would mean a lot to a stamp photographer but little to a shooter of round coins where there is no subject matter in the corners anyway.&nbsp; If you happen to have something like a 70-200 zoom, try it on extension tubes.&nbsp; Whatever lens you use, a secure and solid camera support is 1000 times more important.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
