<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 6353529, member: 19463&quot;]Set the camera to manual focus and then see what is sharp at the closest distance setting.&nbsp; That will tell you how far you are from the coin and what is in the field at that distance.&nbsp; That should be close to what it takes to get a whole denarius to fill the frame.&nbsp; You will have to be a bit further away for the sestertius.&nbsp; Having this information, you will be able to figure out where to start when shooting various subjects. You can use autofocus when shooting&nbsp; in most cases but this setting the lens to the closest distance will demonstrate things that will come in handy. Macro photos require a bit more care than things far away.&nbsp; Practice on things that mean nothing so you will be able to shoot what you want when the time comes. I trust you have a solid camera support.&nbsp; That will help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
