<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2168360, member: 46237&quot;]Before you buy anything else, the absolute best advice I can give you is to buy this book and read it cover to cover: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Numismatic-Photography-2nd-Mark-Goodman/dp/193399004X" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Numismatic-Photography-2nd-Mark-Goodman/dp/193399004X" rel="nofollow">Numismatic Photography 2nd Edition by Mark Goodman</a>. The money you spend on this book will improve your coin photography <i>way more</i> than anything else you could possibly spend it on. Trust me on this.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for bulbs if you search for CRI 90 5500K bulbs you&#039;ll find ones that will produce good color. 5500K is the color temperature (daylight range) and the CRI is the Color Rendering Index which is basically how accurate the light is at illuminating an object at the same color your eyes see it as. Anything 90 and above for CRI is excellent. Keep in mind different types of bulbs are going to have pros and cons though. You don&#039;t want a bulb that&#039;s going to light your coin perfectly but run so hot it melts your camera! Also keep in mind the wattage of the lamp you are using. Again, all of this stuff is in the book. If you haven&#039;t bought it already, go buy it right now! I&#039;ll wait.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
