[QUOTE="benveniste, post: 2663474, member: 25547"]In other words, you can't or won't post such a shot. And didn't you say you prefer not to use a setup which places a light between the lens and a coin? This is argument by assumption, since you haven't established that any droop occurs. But I suppose if you use a weak enough tripod and head it could be an issue. I use shoe-mounted 2-dimensional bubble level, and check my results. Since I use a copystand for the vast majority of my coin shots, it's a lot easier to keep the coin parallel to the sensor. If a mirror system works for you, cool, but is anyone else reading this tallying up the time you have to spend on each shot? Several cameras? Do you have several bellows setups as well? Then you shouldn't have any problem posting pictures of your setup to show how superior your lighting arrangement is. Need I remind you about your claims about the diameter or working distance of a 105mm VR "severely" limiting things? Or about the actual reduction in focal length?[/QUOTE]
