<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jb_depew, post: 3272937, member: 88227&quot;]I recently photographed my collection with a 105 mm macro. I found a few things that help. A tiny piece of dental wax works great to hold high relief coins on top of the offset and is very adjustable. I used a Kenko extension tube to fill more of my frame with coin. Lastly, a remote control to activate the shutter will allow slow shutter speeds. Even the simple act of your finger pressing on to the shutter release button on your SLR body (when on a tripod) will cause camera shake. Oh, and I used an 18% gray card, which are only a few bucks, as a background, so I could achieve accurate white balance that represents the coin&#039;s true &quot;look.&quot; Still too lazy to focus stack so my depth of field is still too thin on some coins. Here&#039;s a drachm from Apollonia Pontika:</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/2Fcuvbi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
