<p>[QUOTE=&quot;benveniste, post: 1070943, member: 25547&quot;]You may wish to ask your friend!&nbsp; I can&#039;t really help you with the specifics of your camera -- I use Nikon gear except for those odd occasions when I want to make a really big print (24&quot;+).&nbsp; Then I&#039;ll use a Pentax 645n film camera.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a link to a pretty good generic &quot;How to&quot; page.&nbsp; As the page explains, the keys to good coin photography are focus, eliminating motion, and lighting.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.tabletopstudio.com/documents/coin_photography.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tabletopstudio.com/documents/coin_photography.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.tabletopstudio.com/documents/coin_photography.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Your camera&#039;s Macro and Super-Macro settings will let you get the right focus, but you may find you need to focus manually for top results.&nbsp; Motion elimination is perhaps 80% gear and 20% technique.&nbsp; Lighting is a&nbsp; lifetime study -- at times I&#039;ve gotten great results with desk lamps, gaff tape,&nbsp; and plastic leftover containers, and at times I&#039;ve gotten rotten results&nbsp; with near state-of-the-art close-up flashes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
