<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 6755994, member: 27832&quot;]The main trick is to make sure the lens is perpendicular to the coin. An easy trick, which I&#039;ve seen mentioned here before: put a small <i>mirror</i> on the flat surface where you&#039;re going to put the coin, and adjust the camera until your lens&#039; <i>reflection</i> is centered in the image. At that point, your camera is perpendicular to the mirror; take the mirror away, replace it with the coin, and you&#039;ll be able to get both the coin&#039;s top and bottom in focus at the same time.</p><p><br /></p><p>(If you&#039;re using a DSLR or mirrorless body with a macro lens, it might be hard to get both the devices and the fields in focus at the same time. There are ways to get around that, too.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
