Yep, that Zeiss looks like it might be a good lens. I can't tell if the results are relevant or not, as the reviewers didn't even tell us what...
80mm is well within range to work with the Bausch and Lomb A-Stand, but 105mm requires enough additional working distance that you will need to...
Color temperature is the way that broad spectrum white light spectral hue is specified. A black body emits light of a certain spectral content...
You can't directly mount these enlarging / repro / duplicating lenses to the camera. They have M39 Leica mounts and no focusing mechanism. You...
The 75mm I linked to is the Rodagon-R, which is an older incarnation of the Rodagon-D. "R" stands for "Reproduction" and this lens was used in...
And here are some lenses that will equal or possibly better the Zeiss, allow magnifications well beyond 1:1 if needed, and are small enough that...
It can really only take pics of Dollars, maybe Halves, since it can only go 1:2. And no dedicated macro lens can achieve the performance of an...
My recommendation is to stay under $100 to start, then go to the $300 level. I would not spend over $300 for a lens, it's a waste and most likely...
Mostly the clerks just grab the coins greedily with big eyes. Some say "cool" or other such things, but I've never had anyone not immediately...
For each camera, the degradation between Live View and Normal is due to Mirror Slap vibration. The vibration is happening within the camera...
Certainly... I shot the same coin as before 4 different ways: 1) with T2i in Live View (EFSC is always on in Live View and you can't turn it off)...
Thanks for the comments. You are right on with the lighting analysis. To capture this coin's "deep" color, the lighting is almost axial, which is...
I spent a lot of effort making my setup as rigid as possible. I use a microscope stand as copy stand, and the surface the coin sits on is...
f2.8 is a bit wide for coins. Depth of field will be too shallow for single-shot imaging, and the coin has to be perfectly flat vs the sensor. If...
Well, you saw the differences between my D7000 and T2i shots. They are pretty small at pixel level, and by the time you get to a 4x-downsized...
I'm quite impressed with the mint for what they did in 2009-2010, a one-year commemorative series, then back to a traditional design. I just wish...
On the full frame photos I agree with you. Please tell me you see a big difference in the 1:1 pixel photos. And this comes back to the OP: Once...
And here are some more from that same roll as the ones above. [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG]
1957 was a good year for Lincoln Cents [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG]
It's all going to end for me very soon though...I only collect Wheats and I have not taken many pics of 1958's.
