There's a time element, too, though. If I put up a BIN/BO and someone offers me 90% of my asking price immediately, I might not accept the offer,...
"MCMMVII"? Mr. Garrett really needs an editor. Or a better one.
In general, I find that it's the other way around -- finding and copy/paste a result on the Web from a trusted source in seconds, versus minutes...
I found it wasn't necessary. Throwing in salt will accelerate things, too, but makes it a lot easier to trash the coins. I prefer the slow action...
I'm further behind. Need to install the basement itself first. :rolleyes:
As we're accustomed to ours. Imagine future students, imagining us today, breathing a noxious mix of exhaust fumes, and plasticizers, and scented...
There have been more than a few threads here about date restoration. Something about the striking process for nickels makes it work really well on...
It's a compelling thought. Smell is such a powerful prompt, and we still can't properly record or replay them, much less Google-search on them....
Same one I use. Try the mirror trick for alignment and stop it down to F/11. You'll probably also want to investigate "mirror lockup", and use...
You're just reminding me how much I miss @Electron John and his images...
Almost certainly "microns", thousandths of a millimeter -- although 5.1mm seems really deep, even on a large medal?
Yep. There are some EOS lenses ("EF-S") that will only work on the small-sensor cameras like the Rebel series; others will work on both crop and...
Sorta. A pinhole camera is like stopping your lens way down, like to f/100 or higher. The narrower the aperture, the less effect the lens has;...
It's about sensor size. A "full-frame" camera has a sensor that's the same size as the image area on a 35mm film camera. The Rebels have a...
Nice piece, but if you don't fix that typo in the title, this thread is going to go seriously off the rails. ;)
If you're using a Rebel, F/11 is probably the sweet spot. I use a 100mm macro lens myself. I found that I started losing detail due to diffraction...
From looking at the image, the coin's fields are in focus about 1/3 of the way down from the top. Everything below that is too close to the...
The main trick is to make sure the lens is perpendicular to the coin. An easy trick, which I've seen mentioned here before: put a small mirror on...
That's not a baby. Wrens always look like that. After all, why do you think they have such an angry, fussy call? They're sick of always being...
I think there's a good chance it will go back below $1300 in nominal dollars. I think there's a very good chance it'll go back below $1300 in 2021...
Separate names with a comma.
