<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8125732, member: 19463&quot;]There is a great possibility that cropping from an image taken farther back might be better than shooting too close to the coin.&nbsp; My latest attempt this morning uses a 55 year old Leitz Focotar enlarging lens.&nbsp; It allows being a bit farther away and making a bit larger enlargement.&nbsp; The fact remains that the detail on the coin limits sharpness and I do not have the lighting right yet. Being a photo hobbyist for so many years has resulted in an accumulation of old toys to investigate.&nbsp; After all, I am enjoying playing.&nbsp; If I were doing this for a living, it might be a waste of time.&nbsp; The larger image below shows a 4x6mm area on the coin or about 6x magnification.&nbsp; I have more extension available but this subject won&#039;t take that and show anything.&nbsp; I need to find a better coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1415030[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
