<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4262840, member: 19463&quot;]I am a big fan of RAW but do warn that it is tempting to adjust some things just a bit too much and remove the naturalness you want in specular highlights.&nbsp; This makes the real coin look like a plaster cast.&nbsp; I believe your last example is a good balance.&nbsp; The coin looks like brightly shining silver but still shows detail.&nbsp; Sparkly coins are not easy to photograph well. Good job. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not a real fan of 30mm macros since you have to get really close and beware of shadowing the coin.&nbsp; A macro 100mm is easier.&nbsp; You seem to have controlled this well, too. The a6100 seems to be a good tool for the purpose.&nbsp; I know nothing about Sony products since I have a lot tied up in Canon lenses.&nbsp; It is a good idea IMO to pick a brand and stay with it.&nbsp; They all have strengths and weaknesses and changing is expensive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
