<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1934337, member: 36248&quot;]We&#039;ll I have been into cameras for about 15 years, and coins on and off for around 20 years, and one day in the last 3 years I decided to combine the two.&nbsp; &nbsp; Basically, it was seeing all the eye-candy on CoinTalk that made me step up my game.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would say that I really struggled at first with the lighting, and changed out some very small LED goosenecks for the larger goosenecks lights that could accept a full sized spiral bulb.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Basically a lot of trial and error.&nbsp; &nbsp; I really like full-slab shots, as this shows the basic coin info, the cert#, the CAC sticker, the type of slab (fatty, OGH, doily, etc).&nbsp;&nbsp; My Sigma 50mm prime was a cheap macro lens that produced &quot;good-enough&quot; results for a few years.&nbsp;&nbsp; Lately, I have been trying hard to get better as replicating results of Robec, Tom Bush, WingedLiberty, blu62vette, and others.&nbsp;&nbsp; I asked a few people, and many use a telephoto macro lens, which I had never really considered before.&nbsp; &nbsp; The best thing about <a href="https://www.lensrentals.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.lensrentals.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.lensrentals.com/</a> is that you can try high-end gear before you but it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ill post more about my trial and errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
