<p>[QUOTE="Aethelred, post: 3450218, member: 81808"]This first photo was taken using a Tamron 18-135mm zoom lens and a 13mm macro extension tube. My camera was set to AV mode f11 with an ISO of 400. My concerns were the color appearing more brown (to my eye) than the actual coin, I set my white balance to incandescent. The photo is also too soft, I believe the lens/tube combo are capable of a sharper image, but I used auto focus.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wnccoins.com%2FVM%2520Titus%2520Sestertius.jpg&hash=1125113a28f223183305493297065536" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In the following photo I used my new Canon EF 100mm 1:2.8L IS USM Macro lens.
