<p>[QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2546057, member: 76739"]Let me start this reply by saying at least Three words. For the powers to be. (Coin photography forum). It seems the powers to be wants everybody to go to their search and look through hundreds of threads to find information on coin photography. Just like the main man said, you're all guest on this site. So we drag on. Now to answer your question. This set up works quite well for my needs. As far as software goes I am running Windows 10, it has camera software within it. I also use amcap software that came with the camera. Here are some of my photos of my set up.I also find this set up very helpful when it comes to identifying DD's. I put the DD in question. Under my USB camera, then I bring up a true doubled die and compare them side-by-side. It seems to work quite well for me. Camera and software under 20 bucks on eBay.PS. The rechargeable book light is extra. But I find it extremely helpful in situations.Also I'd like to say you cannot beat the ease of this the set up. How hard is it to plug your USB camera into your computer click on the software and take a photo. And if you want to take the time to Photoshop your coin to get the best pic you can, then that's your choice. I don't know I like it because it's basically a no-brainer no big expense, very easy to set up. No lenses no filters no stands to set up. But like every photographer getting the lighting right is a problem. But I'm working on that in my spare time. To devise a special lighting platform for this type of camera.[ATTACH=full]546512[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]546513[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]546514[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
