<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2919474, member: 73983&quot;]I have a total of 5 lights at my disposal.&nbsp; Most of the time I make use of 4 and at times use 3.&nbsp; On rare occasions I&#039;ve used all 5 on a single coin.&nbsp; Most of the time the 5th light I use with a bouncer to illuminate some holograms and CAC stickers on slab shots.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would highly discourage the use of a light tent for coin photography.&nbsp; The light will be too diffuse and will take on a scanned effect.&nbsp; Using multiple lights with each having it&#039;s own diffuser is the best way to work.&nbsp; All of my lights are at various angles and distances depending on the subject matter depicted on the coin, color and amount of luster.&nbsp; There is no magic formula to setting up your lights.&nbsp; It&#039;s all a matter trial and error.&nbsp; For a basic two light setup, the best starting place would be 10:00 and 2:00 at high angles.&nbsp; Make adjustments from there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
