<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2739355, member: 19463"][ATTACH=full]625033[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]625032[/ATTACH] I've built several versions and come to the conclusion that wood vibrates less than metal and you can achieve coarse focus either by moving the camera or the coin. Moving the coin can be achieved with a stack of books added or removed as needed or you can make a stand with the same focus rail I originally bought to move the camera. This last option vibrates less since the camera is rock solid when mounted directly to the 2x4 lumber. </p><p><br /></p><p>I make these things trying to help others but I always go back to my old trusty enlarger frame I used in the 1960's. I don't recommend you run out and buy one like it but, when you already have something as solid as a Durst 606, it seems right to use it. Below is my current rig. I have explained it here before but will be happy to answer questions via Private Conversations if anyone is interested.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]625034[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
