<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2359783, member: 1892&quot;]I vehemently disagree with both the concept of a ring, and the concept of a flash, being &quot;most appropriate.&quot; You&#039;re forcing yourself into a more exacting procedure to leverage those, and missing out on the advantages of other lighting techniques - there <b>is no</b> &quot;one size fits all&quot; solution. I use ringlighting only for Proofs and DMPLs, and have never used a flash. Not once.</p><p><br /></p><p>Canon enjoys its&#039; advantage in coin shooting purely because of EFSC and the easy availability of tethering software.</p><p><br /></p><p>20k images is a couple years&#039; work for me. I have 50k of my own images on my harddrive right now, not including my offline archives from pre-2010. And my whole rig cost less than an EF 100mm Macro. This - shot with a cheap film duplicating lens on my bellows rig, with zero postprocessing aside cropping and downsizing as the original was 18MP - doesn&#039;t suck that badly, does it? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]481194[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]481195[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: I have to correct myself; I didn&#039;t consider that I bought the T2i used to shoot these new, and therefore the rig cost more than a 100MM macro (unless we&#039;re talking the L model). The point stands; I can duplicate that quality with a used $150 10MP Rebel XS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
