[QUOTE="Ordinary Fool, post: 2781447, member: 85318"]He left you very nice stuff that puts you several steps ahead of those using the cheap asian toys for inspection. The canon will take a single overall coin photograph more than sufficient to attribute varieties and even serious study die markers and patterns. At least learn about its macro capabilities and all that will be left is playing with lighting. That isn't as critical with digital photography as it is with film. A tripod should have you golden and I recommend maybe taking a coin break and going on an immersive T5 Rebel experience, use coins or whatever. Keep in mind, macro requires rock steady just like high magnification telephoto, so figure out the timer or other touch-less shutter tricks it will do. I can't speak to the LED light since I haven't toyed with one like it. I have various and many lights. Round up the rest of the B&L outfit and off it on ebay. It most likely will bring enough, if not more, to get you a proper zoom stereo unit in the proper range you'll immensely enjoy for coins. I was asking about the table you said was buried and curious about the camera mounting just to see what it is. I can promise you if the camera is not PC plug and play, it's obsolete and even more so if it has it's own tiny CRT display.
