<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8334379, member: 19463&quot;]Tough love time: Sorry, but the problem is attitude.&nbsp; When you are unwilling to do something because it is too much trouble, you can not expect things to be first rate.&nbsp; If handheld snapshots are all you want, fine.&nbsp; Buying things rarely makes better images but learning to use what there is can work wonders.&nbsp; I have posted about building solid wood supports until I am blue in the face but people insist on hand holding in poor light and complaining.&nbsp; If you have a neighbor who does &#039;cabinetry&#039; perhaps he would slap together what you need from scraps.&nbsp; It should take about five minutes and scraps abound in any wood shop.&nbsp; I have posted a hundred rig photos but all you really need is the most simple.&nbsp; The extension tube on a telephoto lens would work BUT first you need to figure out what distances will work to shoot your coin with your camera/lens set-up and then make the rig to hold the camera at that spacing.&nbsp; This photo show a simple rig outside but you do not use it in bright sun.&nbsp; It also shows an adjustable focus rail but you can screw the camera to the wood and change distances by placing different books under the stand.&nbsp; If you are not willing to do these things, the best answer might be to try to hire a kid with a camera and the desire to learn how to do it.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1477590[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1477598[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
