<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2506827, member: 1892&quot;]The optical characteristics of the slab were an advantage here - the plastic simply <b>disappeared</b> in your images. I had to <i>assume</i> it was slabbed because you positioned this thread as a GTG. With that in mind, though, an added layer of complexity is imposed on the person evaluating the images, knowing there&#039;s the potential for slab plastic to alter the contrast and &quot;reflectivity&quot; of the actual coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Terrific</b> images, man. It really doesn&#039;t get a lot better than this. Just for the record, what&#039;d you use for aperture here? When shooting through slabs, I generally open the aperture even more than normal - f/5.6 or wider - to trade depth of field for better ability to make the slab &quot;disappear&quot; because at wider apertures it&#039;s even farther from the focal plane. That doesn&#039;t work well with 100% crops since the lack of DoF shows clearly, but with the &quot;sharpness bonus&quot; when you downsize large images, you end up with a better full-face image.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
