If you want a macro lens for high quality coin photography, those will not be the best choice. If you want an all-around lens that could probably get decent enough coin pictures with some fighting, go with the first one. The second one is a telephoto lens, and will be terrible for coin pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>A true macro lens is going to be expensive - but worth it if you are serious about it. Since you seem to have a Nikon camera, take a look at this article. It will explain macro lenses, and help guide you to the best choice: <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/best-macro-lens-for-nikons-8-tested-1079616" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/best-macro-lens-for-nikons-8-tested-1079616" rel="nofollow">http://www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/best-macro-lens-for-nikons-8-tested-1079616</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
