<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 2383043, member: 37839&quot;]It takes more than that.&nbsp; The normal lens does not focus well within the parameters of how close to a coin it needs to be.&nbsp; Kit lenses with most cameras do not have as precise close up focus as do separate Macro lenses.&nbsp; Also, what to do about lighting?&nbsp; If one uses flash, then there are reflections on the coin, due to the flash.&nbsp; If one uses incandescent lighting, the color temperature isn&#039;t correct enough to deliver an accurate surface rendering.&nbsp; It takes lots of experimentation, to avoid the &quot;Great Southern Coins&quot; effect of exaggerating contrast by accident, as the autofocus locks on to a portion of the coin, but not the correct point.&nbsp;&nbsp; The best light for photographing coins and getting it naturally would be outside, but few people take pictures of their coins outside.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
