<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 4226552, member: 1765"]Reversing a lens can be useful, but primarily for shooting beyond 1:1 macro (i.e., high magnification). You will lose the ability to focus the lens and you won't be able to set the aperture of the lens, since there's no mechanical aperture control on those lenses (as far as I know). If you want to use the camera for other types of photography, then the kit you show is a good one. If you're only going to use it for coins, then I would replace the 75-300 mm lens with a 100 mm macro lens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
