<p>[QUOTE="xtrmbrdr, post: 574686, member: 17193"]In general I am very pleased with the scope, it's great! I like not having to look thru a loupe or a magnifing glass to look at coins, all I have to do is look at the screen on my laptop. I hate the <a href="http://http://www.microscope.com/dinolite-stand-flexible-versatile-stand-p-522.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://http://www.microscope.com/dinolite-stand-flexible-versatile-stand-p-522.html" rel="nofollow">stand</a> and I would never recommend it. It bounces if you even think about touching it which makes it hard to focus the scope, part of the problem is that you have turn the dial on the scope itself to increase the magnification, which is really my only gripe about the scope, you can however zoom in and out without touching to scope. However, a better stand would eliminate most of this hassle. A good stand tho, can reach or exceed the cost of the scope, I've been looking at this <a href="http://http://www.microscope.com/dinolite-tabletop-rigid-versatile-stand-p-521.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://http://www.microscope.com/dinolite-tabletop-rigid-versatile-stand-p-521.html" rel="nofollow">one</a>, or making something myself.</p><p> </p><p>I haven't played much with the photo part of the scope since I bought a 14mb Canon EOS XSi, which is a whole new world of f-stops, ISO, appetures and white balance. It has an auto mode but that's not typically the mode for shooting coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
