<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samjimmy, post: 115040, member: 3813&quot;]It&#039;s the camera <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I think I did just about what you did (as far as set up, lighting, etc.)&nbsp; It was just a 3 minute photoshoot, heh.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure what the problem is.&nbsp; You posted one (the peace dollar one) that was pretty good.&nbsp; The rest have been really furry (and the label isn&#039;t in focus either so I don&#039;t think that&#039;s it).&nbsp; Maybe you&#039;re too close.&nbsp; For better cameras (SLR types), they make magnifying viewfinders which is really what you need when doing close up work (that any everything else that people have talked about).</p><p><br /></p><p>Check out that Peace Dollar one you posted on page one.&nbsp; that one is 100x better than the Morgan image, etc.&nbsp; I&#039;d try to replicate that, but like I said, the above image was taken with a relatively inexpensive DSLR (first gen DRebel) and if you like your AE-1, then I think you&#039;ll like one.&nbsp; You can also buy a cheap adapter ($40) that will allow a DSLR like the Rebel to accept your FD lenses.&nbsp; Not that sticking crappy quality glass in is the best option, but it&#039;s a cheap option to buying EF lenses.&nbsp; Canon makes an adapter as well, but it&#039;s $250-ish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
