<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1441778, member: 37839"]It isn't just the f stop setting, it is the lighting, Coins need excellent light to be well-photgraphed, and since I assume you are doing the pictures indoors, that makes it doubly complicated. Autoexposure controls make it much harder--the "auto settings" make too many compromises. First of all, a tripod is essential for coin photography. Backlighting with a light bulb always yields strange exposures--natural light is best, but that requires skill and experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
