[QUOTE="Doverboy, post: 608652, member: 18278"]Kanga, these are terrific! Shooting through slabs is very difficult at times. Did you polish them before shooting? You've obviously been bitten by the camera bug (as well as the coin variety, too) to make a substantial investment. I have a similar Canon, the 1000D, and recently upgraded to a Sigma 150mm macro lens. I find that using the new Sigma is terrific in many ways. I'm now cataloging my collection as well. With the 150mm, my raw images are really terrific. I'm now able to view the coins at 200x using PhotoShop Elements ($99) and it is much easier to cherrypick and look for varieties on my screens (dual 22-inch digital). I will warn you that I paid approximately $750 for my new lens, though! But I view it as an investment and it will eventually pay for itself. I really like the layout you're using with short notes as well. Really terrific.[/QUOTE]
