    I think that's a great picture.
    Also I thought people recommended a 100 macro or more. But that one did great.

    Thank you everyone for your kind words, The only problem is I'm going away on a holiday for 2 weeks so I cant test it further at this time but Louie_Two_Bits just found what looks like the stand I have been looking for so I´ll order that and when I come back it should be here, Thank you :)

    If anyone is intersted here is a pdf document you can find on the site of the central bank of Iceland. This is what I use and it has great info on Icelandic coins and notes. At the very end there is info on the coin i took the picture. It´s parf of a three coin set that was made in Iceland in 1930 and was to celebrate 1000 years of parliment.

    To all of you thinking about the design part I understand were your going I have heard that before but this is designed by one of Icelands very best artist and at this time nudity in art didnt seem to be a big deal. You can find some other work from him here. I go and see musium every year.

    krispy the subject is King of thule

    Duke Kavanaugh that would be because of lighting as you are pretty close at 50MM and to be able to use the lens for other subjects. Mine is just for coins basicly and I like the way it´s compact.

    Thanks everyone for your replys again

    Siggi :)
