I looks great trout and the pictures you get from it are awesome. That's why I got one similar.

hey Trout
do you reckon that tripod is good for holding the camera ?

I recon that tripod is robust enough to mount an M60 on :diablo::good:

I can take 20 images of slabbed similar coins without having to even check the focus , nothing moves with this puppy

cool
I think that my son got one recently I might ask sweetly for a loan ....

Nice setup if I could afford a similar one.

Hi Trout & fellow photographers!!

I have a tripod that I've had for years to look at the stars at night
So we took the legs right down to the shortest length they go (apx 58 cms with camera attached) & set up the camera with 2 otte lights. My tripod has 4 legs including the centre support leg thingss
I will get better plus the son is recommending a Nikon macro lens apx $500 , so we will look out for a second hand one.

Bit tricky as I am so used to holding the camera for my photos
but took quite a few fairly good shots. I did like getting straight over the coin AND without having to stop breathing when I take the photo!!

ta

it is a gorgus coin that was said to have been taken from a mint roll years ago
it has a few sisters in my album as well but the guy who i bought them off on ebay had STAPLES in the page that he stapled when he posted, some coins came loose = some very ruined unc coins

I never have a staples anywhere near a coin now, even in my packaging when I sell something

Nice setup if I could afford a similar one.

Don't worry mate I got it over the line as I will be using it for a little venture of mine because I couldn't justify it for just my coins, Now just have to explain to my parents how much I spent on the set up Don't know how that is going to go :angel:

[oh my florin]

The OTT lights arrived Friday and just got around to setting them up now. I must say first impressions of it are good but lets see how it goes under the camera.

[oh my florin]

Just got the camera today and managed to take some photos. Here is what I managed to get so far. (the picture was taken freehand)

Sorry guys and gals give me a little. It doesn't want to upload my photo. Found the issue the original photo was 4.2mb so a tad over the 200kb limit. It has been scaled down a lot to fit in this post.

Click on the photo and you will get a much bigger and better photo

Just funning Mate, You have to resize the images .
I normally make them 600 x 600 pixels :ok:

[oh my florin]

Frankly I am very happy with my first off shot
