[QUOTE="4to2centBC, post: 2359809, member: 76181"]I use a Nikon and have pretty much used one forever. However, when it comes to brand...........who cares. Everything on the market today is light years superior to anything made 75 years ago, yet people took fantastic pictures 75 years ago, with crude equipment. I really think it all comes down to taking your time and coaxing a good photo out of your subject. If you want to treat your subjects the same, you will get uniform catalog photos, and most will look like morgue shots. However, if you spend some time, you can get photos that bring life to the object. I guess it all comes down to what you are trying to achieve with your photo. Naked realism or subtle essence. This is the variation in one coin with only the slightest rotation of the angle of light. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/media/eight-variations-of-a-coin.4099/full?d=1454077145[/IMG][/QUOTE]
