<p>[QUOTE="AnYangMan, post: 5391573, member: 87271"]Intresting topic! Facinating to see all the comparisons; it seems they do indeed heighten contrast a fair bit. I don’t think I have a comparison shot from CNG, but I do have one from Roma (my pic below):</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.numisbids.com/sales/hosted/roma/e74/image00224.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50814508418_010c11faa8_k.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>I too shoot with an axial setup. My white balance is a little off, making it a little more reddish, while I think the Roma picture is a bit too pale. The coin falls somewhere in the middle. Axial picks up the most subtle of tonings and hues, which is why the reverse looks so red compared to the Roma pictures; it is a very subtle toning visible only under extreme angles. Roma has clear direction in their lighting, which creates clear highlights (although in this case they don't really obscure any detail <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). I personally find less direction to the light preferable for personal use, but that is just that. Image techniques and styles are a surely personal preference![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
