<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 4305493, member: 96898&quot;]For $500, you could, for example, easily get a Canon EOS Rebel T6 or T7 with an 18–55mm kit lens, a cheap generic set of macro adaptor rings, and either build yourself a copy stand (best solution, see <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/coinphoto2011ez1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/coinphoto2011ez1.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>) or alternatively buy a stable tripod. Together with two generic desktop lamps outfitted with daylight bulbs, this allows for taking very attractive coin pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>Though this setup is a bit less elegant than the microscope solution mentioned above, it&#039;s big advantage is that you can simply detach the macro adaptor and have a fairly good DSLR for travel photography, family pictures, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is fairly similar to my own coin photography setup, which I have tested and described in detail in <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/an-unfair-comparison-in-coin-photography-iphone-vs-dslr.355856/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/an-unfair-comparison-in-coin-photography-iphone-vs-dslr.355856/">this thread</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
