<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 5241692, member: 105571&quot;]These USB cameras usually come with a LED ring light.&nbsp; The Morgan looks like it was shot with that ring light.&nbsp; Mine has a dimmer on it but it still causes glare reflections on raw coins and it is impossible to use on slabbed coins because the individual LEDs just reflect right back into the image from the surface of the slab.&nbsp; Because the camera has to be pretty close to the coin, there isn&#039;t much room for more traditional independent lights.&nbsp; There were also lots of problems with color rendition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I finally gave up on my USB camera and bought a Nikon D610 body and Sigma 105mm macro lens, built a copy stand and custom built lights.&nbsp; Much better but also much more expensive.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said in my first post, it helps if you know what your goals are first before you invest but if you are uncertain, it&#039;s a small investment in a USB camera to get started and then see how and if you want to invest more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
