<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7745899, member: 118780&quot;]I&#039;m also not a fan of ring lights. The big disadvantage is you have no flexibility with the light. With a twin light flash I can move the heads around the lens, change the power of each head, and alter the angle of the flash against the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Below is a retry of my new coin where I played with the angle of the heads. The reality is this coin&#039;s in tough condition and due to its tiny size, even small reflections are noticeable. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1326022[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a different coin (Ptolemy II Philadelphos) I picked up recently. This is my first attempt combining the two shots on one. The coin&#039;s already in my album so I don&#039;t want to reshoot it, but I just need to be more consistent with the size of the coin and the reflection. The simple solution is to just switch the lens to manual focus, since then the reproduction ration is guaranteed to be the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1326023[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
