<p>[QUOTE="Derick, post: 1665425, member: 39142"]These were taken with a Sony Alpha 55 and Sigma F=24 1:28 52 mm wide angle macro. I ordered the 100 mm and would try to get that crisp look for very small coins, which you cannot do with 50mm. The most important thing is managing the light so that the coin looks real as in hand. I could only manage that with diffused sunlight or OTT broadspectrum bulbs. They are just very expensive. I paid 20 dollars for each bulb. I consider the photography as a very imporant part of the hobby since one can either over sell or under sell you coins if the photograph does not represent the actual coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
