<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fish, post: 487758, member: 6034&quot;]I put together a new coin photography setup in the last month or so.&nbsp; I started with a Nikon D40x which I&#039;ve had for a little over a year now, a small, cheap 12-inch copy stand and two gooseneck desktop lamps with daylight CFL bulbs.&nbsp; That worked pretty well and took nice enough pictures in its own right, but I knew it could be better.</p><p><br /></p><p>I kept the camera and lamps the same, but added a large Olympus copy stand, Olympus focusing rail, and Sigma 150mm macro lens.&nbsp; What a difference that setup makes!&nbsp; I know I need to work on lighting at this point, because I&#039;m having problems getting larger things (like the medals I have pictures of here) adequately lit.</p><p><br /></p><p>This setup is very easy to use and makes taking nice pictures a breeze.&nbsp; I&#039;m planning to try this out on some smaller pieces next - quarters, dimes, half cents.&nbsp; I&#039;d love some feedback, and have included some &quot;before&quot; pics taken with my old setup for frame of reference.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are some before pics...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
