Just wanted to share some closeups of a coin I am sending to CAC soon: 1938 D FIVE-CENT PIECE - BUFFALO, TYPE 2 NGC MS66 D OVER D It was hard for...
Thanks for all the replies. I do use the remote trigger from Lightroom to take all shots. I have used the "exposure delay mode" on Nikon, but I...
If I had the money, I would be buying this lens from http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ today. In fact, I may sell my 55-200 and some other things to...
I thought that too, but at this extreme macro shots, there is just enough vibration from the camera itself, and the floor the tripod is on, that...
This has a lot to do with lenses being at their sharpest in the middle apertures, say 5.6-11. Different lenses are sharp at different points,...
So true! I was thinking it was some other aspect of my setup, but I am almost ready to declare that my current gear + 1 new lens can make all...
Depends on if you are DX or FX (Canon calls it something else, see here for more) So, on my DX 105mm really = 157.5, so that is not wildly...
We'll I have been into cameras for about 15 years, and coins on and off for around 20 years, and one day in the last 3 years I decided to combine...

If I help even one person, it was worth it. :) The bummer is, this is a $1000 lens, I paid $80 to rent it for 5 days with shipping to test out....
Back to normal auto-focus for now, I seem to be getting pretty good results. What do you guys think? Any major flaws (the photo, not the coin)...
Well I'm trying it, and I have figured out most of the control, but for some reason the quality of my liveview is so bad, that I cant discern if...
This is still auto focus, but a few more shots as I get warmed up: 1/250 sec at f/5.6, ISO 100, 105mm 1998 S HALF DOLLAR - KENNEDY, PROOF NGC SP...
I saw, I offered, I was countered, I bought: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Alright guys, Ill try manual focus, and then manual focus via liveview, if possible.
I discovered last night that I cant shoot my Nikon through tethered capture and adjust the focus. via liveview. I can download another piece of...
What I dont like is Liveview through the viewfinder, like on the Fuji x100s and a bunch of others, or Liveview on the LED screen on my Nikon....
I'll check into using liveview with tethered. I don't really care for liveview on my Nikon, and I'm a big fan of optical viewfinder, but you are...
I find myself doing exactly that for exposure on almost every image. 1/3 to 2/3, but sometimes a full stop. I do this in lightroom after...
I am dialing in the lens. Now shooting f8 and using AF-FineTune -5. The default setting was mushy, I tried +10 and that was terrible. -5...
