[QUOTE="AdrienH, post: 4500262, member: 112309"]Nice photos! When I take mine I use a Canon EF-S AF 18-55mm, on a 10 year old canon rebel xTi. Iso set to 100, I use a 2 second timer on a shutter speed of 1/100". I haven't tried it out with proofs though. I am a bit opinionated about reverse proofs though. Reverse proofs used to be something interesting to own, but now it just seems like a cash grab. 2006 (2019 is close to the same) Reverse Proof ASE was by far the best reverse proof. Given, the 2006's sell for close to $2100 in PR70. These 2020W nickels, I like. It is a premium item if you buy a silver proof set, which most people like me, do on a regular basis. We don't have to go out of our way to buy something The 2017 (2018? whatever.) reverse proof set, nah. No reason for those to be like that. I think the mint originally selled the 2017 for close to $100, and called it limited (I'll find sources for that). Side note: When I got my 2020W Proof nickel, there were these brown spots all over the proof finish :([/QUOTE]
