<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 933411, member: 19463&quot;]Neither lens will go super close as it is but would accept an accessory that would make it great for coins.&nbsp; The 18-135 is a much more versatile lens covering a lot of space from wide angle to moderate telephoto while the 70-300 is all telephoto and would suggest buying a second lens for wider work.&nbsp; You could achieve close focus with extension tubes or an add on close up lens (either made by Nikon or a third party seller).&nbsp; I prefer extension tubes (and use Kenko brand) but [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]there are a&nbsp; total of several different close-up attachment lenses from&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Nikon. These are the No. 0, No. 1, No. 2, 3T, 4T, 5T&nbsp; and 6T&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; close-up attachments. They have different&nbsp; magnification values&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (also known as &quot;diopters&quot;) and fit two different&nbsp; thread&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sizes, namely the 52mm (No. 0, No. 1, No. 2, 3T &amp;&nbsp; 4T) and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 62mm (5T &amp; 6T) sizes.&nbsp; The &#039;T&#039; models are higher quality and cost more.&nbsp; You would need to know the filter size on the front of the lens.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>[/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
