<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimij, post: 140352, member: 5475&quot;]If anyone who has made some good pictures could give me a model of the camera they used that would be great. I have a digital camera with a macro function ,but the picture quality is all over the board. plus I have to get right up to the coin yet far enough a way for the stupid auto focus to work. Usually about a foot or so above the coin. No manual focus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s some links of some tests I have done. Let me know what you think?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0289.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0289.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0289.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0290.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0290.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0290.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0285.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0285.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0285.jpg</a></p><p>or</p><p><a href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/2006_0515Coins0007.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/2006_0515Coins0007.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/2006_0515Coins0007.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/?action=view&amp;current=DSCF0286.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/?action=view&amp;current=DSCF0286.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/?action=view&amp;current=DSCF0286.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0277.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0277.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0277.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0278.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0278.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0278.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Some look bland with the same settings</p><p><a href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0279.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0279.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0279.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0280.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0280.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0280.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Or too bright.
