<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2165487, member: 19463&quot;]I have way, way too many pages on coin photography and keep telling myself I will combine all and delete the old news.&nbsp; It has not happened yet.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/coinphoto2011ez.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/coinphoto2011ez.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/coinphoto2011ez.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t like that page, there are several more that it links to at the bottom.&nbsp; Every time I do a page, I change an opinion and the page becomes outdated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with brassnautilus about bigger sensors being better but I&#039;m too lazy to tear down my set up every time I want the good camera for something else so I leave an old 1.6 crop sensor camera on the rig and us it most of the time.&nbsp; Below are samples from my full frame dSLR (a now out of date Canon 5DmkII).&nbsp; In each case, the cropped section at the bottom is 100% size as shot.&nbsp; The coins are much reduced and combined to get both sides in one shot.&nbsp; The full size files make very nize 20x30 pints if you like to see the faults on the coins.&nbsp; I have very few coins that look good that large. Very few!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/141016910.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/140670994.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/140670998.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/140681423.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
