<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 238948, member: 5454&quot;]It&#039;s trial and error.&nbsp; For instance look at my avatar.&nbsp; It is a close up of the KM#529&nbsp; Mexican 500 Peso obverse.</p><p>One of my favorite devices on world coins.&nbsp; The Eagle biting a snake, the Mexican National coat of arms.</p><p>This shot was the best of about a dozen taken.&nbsp; A 10 power loupe was held tight against the camera lens.</p><p>The zoom was adjusted in and out until the photo came into clear focus.&nbsp; The camera, a&nbsp; Kodak&nbsp; CX7330</p><p>was first put on the closeup setting which is a flower logo on the selector.&nbsp; The viewfinder was not used in this setting.&nbsp; Instead the shot is seen in the large window.&nbsp; Holding the camera with the loupe is no easy task.&nbsp; Move the whole assembly in and out to get a focus, then snap.&nbsp; Take a dozen or more shots of the same thing.&nbsp; Then pick the best one.&nbsp; Hope this helps.&nbsp; Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
