<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4865470, member: 19463&quot;]This is the big point.&nbsp; As I recall from elementary school science in the 1950&#039;s, any scientific study must limit the variables to have any chance of producing meaningful results.&nbsp; If you wish to compare the phone to the camera, you MUST use the same lighting for each.&nbsp; Anything else is a complete waste of time.&nbsp; I have never touched an iPhone and dislike coin photos made with microscopic sensors like those used in phones that I have experienced.&nbsp; Still, 90% of the phone and camera photos we see here on CT have faults that can not be blamed on the equipment.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been asked to give a Zoom talk to a photo club in two weeks.&nbsp; To that end, I am in the process of making some images demonstrating what I see to be significant questions on coin photography.&nbsp; Below is one showing differences made by light direction.&nbsp; If all of those images strike you as the same, I have nothing left to say.&nbsp; We might not agree on which is best or if there is an intermediate that would improve either of the adjacent shots.&nbsp; The point is that coin photographers need to consider lighting direction and other qualities before they press the button.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1175242[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
