<p>[QUOTE="Numisnewbiest, post: 3270638, member: 99613"]The pics look great, but to answer your aperture question, yes - a higher aperture number will get more of the coin in focus, but you'll also need a slower shutter speed to compensate for the darker image. Set a higher aperture number (like f11), and then adjust the shutter speed until the image is the brightness you want, and then use the camera's timer to take the shot so you aren't manually pressing the shutter and shaking the camera.</p><p><br /></p><p>Use the 100mm prime lens instead of the zoom lens - it was made for macro.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
