<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aslpride, post: 1688268, member: 36954&quot;]I got good feedback from you all and I did rented two macro lens from borrowlenses.com...</p><p><br /></p><p>Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM</p><p>Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 IS Macro USM</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on testing and I can&#039;t tell the different between both of them in quality of picture. Maybe EF 100mm would be good for really small area varieties to take a picture, but based on coin itself, both of them looks great. I decide to continue testing with 60mm. I will show some toned coins that turn out really good, but I didn&#039;t able to do more due to short time period rental service. However, 60mm won my attention and it&#039;s on my next list to buy. (I did bought Fotodiox Canon EOS Macro Extension Tube Set Kit for $20, but 60mm beat it by hundred miles away.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Before I show you some of picture, I did take Tom B&#039;s advice to buy a book called, &quot;[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]<font size="2">Numismatic Photography 2nd edition&quot; by author Mark Goodman. It&#039;s worth to read the book and it help me how to modify my camera and adjust light stand to get best light reflection out of coin and avoid glare on coin, too. If you considering to shoot some coins, that book is high recommend. </font></p><p><font size="2"><br /></font></p><p><font size="2">Here&#039;s my pictures using 60mm lens...</font></p><p><font size="2"><br /></font></p><p><font size="2">Kennedy</font></p><p><font size="2"></font>[/FONT]<img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/IMG_1700_2_zpsacda0954.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]<font size="2"></font></p><p><font size="2"></font>[/FONT]<img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/IMG_1701_2_zps3fef76d3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]<font size="2"></font></p><p><font size="2"><br /></font></p><p><font size="2">Jefferson</font></p><p><font size="2"></font>[/FONT]<img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/IMG_1702_zps4892592c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]<font size="2"></font></p><p><font size="2"></font>[/FONT]<img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/IMG_1703_zps09546278.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Lincoln</p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/IMG_1704_2_zpsb43bf988.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/IMG_1705_zps5a9caa80.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Upclose Kennedy Observe</p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/IMG_1709_2_zpse69beb76.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]<font size="2"></font></p><p><font size="2">Let me know what do you think of my first true Macro lens pictures?</font></p><p><font size="2"></font>[/FONT][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
