I made due with an off camera flash cord connected to the speedlight.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a sample with my 580 and a lumiquest softbox camera left and a piece of white paper for fill camera right.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]170239.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had a permanent coin photography setup, I would definitely be using speedlights rather than continuous lighting.&nbsp; The one advantage with using continuous lighting, especially for beginners, is that you can move the position of the light and see the change to the coin in real time, without taking a bunch of test pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
