[QUOTE="benveniste, post: 2184325, member: 25547"]What are your objectives in photographing your coins? If you're happy with your current results, then you probably don't need anything more expensive. You can "properly" photograph coins with nothing more than diffused daylight, but it's more difficult to do so and waiting for the "right light" can be tedious. For artificial light, having 2 or more light sources does make things easier, but they don't have to be very large. For one of my lighting solutions I use a pair of small halogens that are only slightly larger than a 12 oz soda can. Photography is my other main hobby. I have far too much gear and I freely admit I've justified more than a little of it for photographing coins. But for posting in a forum like this one, for example, my 3.2 megapixel Coolpix 995 from 2001 would still suffice for many if not most shots.[/QUOTE]
