<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2443173, member: 77639&quot;]Very interesting and informative thread.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got a little-used Vivitar Series-1 90mm macro lens with a mount for Nikon film cameras.&nbsp; It&#039;s f2.5 and will go to 1:2; I think it was actually made by Tokina&nbsp; Would it work well for coin photography and how could it be adapted to a Canon Rebel XS?&nbsp; If a Rebel XSi can be obtained for about the same price as an XS, is there any reason not to go that route?&nbsp; I know it has 2 MP more, but will it work as well with Live View?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had some experience with biological macro photography back in film days.&nbsp; Coins are a different ballgame with reflectivity being a big issue.&nbsp; Mostly I want to do slabbed $2.50 through silver $1 in size.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got a Technal copy stand and axial lighting system, but the Nikon Coolpix S8100 is the problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
