<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 3053251, member: 73983&quot;][USER=71723]@V. Kurt Bellman[/USER] I see you are interested in a coin only type of setup.&nbsp; A fantastic lens that [USER=31773]@rmpsrpms[/USER] recommends and I use on a daily basis, is the Rodenstock APO Rodagon D-1:4.&nbsp; It is a duplicating lens that really shines in the magnification ranges required for coin photography.&nbsp; It&#039;s pretty compact, and works best in a bellows setup.&nbsp; It is an incredibly sharp lens.&nbsp; They can be found used for between $200.00 and $400.00 on eBay.&nbsp; I have attached an image below that is 100% in size and not sharpened so you can see the kind of detail it is capable of.&nbsp; Keep in mind that these were shot with a Nikon D800E with a full frame 36.3 megapixel sensor with an effectively cancelled anti-aliasing filter.&nbsp; They were shot using 4 Jansjo lights with the diffusion method mentioned above.</p><p><br /></p><p>Click on the image to see full resolution:</p><p><img src="http://www.wildlightphotoworkshops.com/CoinTalk/1881-S-Morgan-Dollar-Obverse-Max.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Click on image to see full resolution:</p><p><img src="http://www.wildlightphotoworkshops.com/CoinTalk/1881-S-Morgan-Dollar-Reverse-Max.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
