However, they often came only after a lot of playing around, and was a lot less expensive than using film. Anyway, would you have any interest in upgrading to a newer camera to photograph things other than coins? If this is only for coins, and you&#039;d prefer not until grade, I&#039;d first make the best of what you have. I&#039;ll try to look into your camera&#039;s specs sometime over the next day or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for a copy stand, if you&#039;re even just a little bit handy, you can always think about building one on the cheap. In fact, I did just this after realizing what an idiot I was for selling mine, along with my film equipment, some years ago. Really, what&#039;s most important is that you have the ability to securely hold the camera while taking the photo, and means it doesn&#039;t necessarily have to be pretty or elaborate. Something that will hold the camera vertically should be fairly simple to throw together, but in the meantime, may I ask what you have and/or plan to use for lighting? A minimum of two lights of the same type/bulb (starting at 10 and 2 o&#039;clock but can be moved as needed) is usually recommended.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
