<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7686847, member: 19463"]I suggest you try placing the coin in softer light and focusing. Do not use the built in light but place the coin somewhere where the light works for you. Turn the coin around until you get the direction you want. The 12 is not known for good close focus characteristics but no phone takes the best coin pictures. Do not place the coin closer than the minimum focus distance. The camera has enough pixels to allow some cropping but too close always will be fuzzy. The link below discusses ways you can overcome the lack of macro about half way down the page. I have no experience with the accessory lenses and have never (will never) touched an IPhone. Like any other tool, you have to learn to use it. </p><p><a href="https://iphonephotographyschool.com/focus-tips/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://iphonephotographyschool.com/focus-tips/" rel="nofollow">https://iphonephotographyschool.com/focus-tips/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line: Buy a camera.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
