[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 7743696, member: 118780"]Yes. Very true. If you want to do that, then a macro rail is useful. I have a Really Right Stuff dual-rail that I use for nature abstracts, but I've never used it for coins. Most of the shots I posted are crops. I do shoot a bit further back in order to avoid clipping the coin. True, but for a wildlife photographer who gets out there at 5 AM, 8:30 is practically the middle of the day. :) Once that sun is up and strong, it's usually game over. I believe it actually does. :) I recently photographed a Vespasian Judea Capta, and I thought I remember that occurring - but I'll have to double check. Very true, but I'm used to that since I photograph insects a lot and most of my macro lenses are manual focus. It's all in breathing and steady movements. This weekend I should have a new challenge in an Alexander III hemi-obol that's sitting in my mailbox as I type. It will easily be the smallest coin I've photographed, and I'll probably use my MP-E 65 (usually reserved for insects), so I can shoot above 1x. I was thinking about that recently.
