[QUOTE="rmpsrpms, post: 2637475, member: 31773"]Will be good to see quality of this lens once you get the tripod and lights set up. The parts in sharp focus look good but it's hard to tell how good the lens is when things are angled. It may seem counter-intuitive, but lenses with lots of Depth of Field are actually of lower quality than ones with very shallow DOF. When the coin is angled, it's hard to tell if the poor DOF is due to the lens or the angles. Once you get the coin flat, we'll be able to see the DOF and estimate how good the lens is.[/QUOTE]
