<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samjimmy, post: 242542, member: 3813&quot;]What you have to keep in mind with macro (and telephoto) photography is that you are magnifying the image.&nbsp; Thus, even small movements are amplified (so to speak) and blur often results.&nbsp; You might try setting the coin (propping it somewhere) and setting the camera on something (small pillow) and using the self-timer.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for using a scanner... well... a scanner produces a certain kind of photo, often pretty flat, straight on, without any hint of luster.&nbsp; It works but it&#039;s not ideal (IMHO).</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the tilt arm allows you to tilt the camera at any angle.&nbsp; The tripod shold be capable of tilting the camera down completely so you could take a shot of a coin on a table... BUT... you should realize that the height of the tripod may not work with your setup.&nbsp; In other words, it may be too far or close from the table.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT:&nbsp; I just realized you&#039;d probably try putting the tripod on the floor and adjusting the height as needed, heh.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know why I envisioned you trying to put the tripod on the table with the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
