<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2183397, member: 19463&quot;]JA makes fun of my camera.&nbsp; In truth the largest I ever owned was 8x10&quot; but I used a 24x24&quot; that belonged to my employer.&nbsp; I still value a magazine International Photo Technik no.4/1970 which has an article &quot;Coins in Color&quot; by William H. Sayre detailing the author&#039;s photography of ancient coins with a 5x7&quot; view camera that got me interested in shooting coin photos but I never tried filling the frame on a view camera with a coin as did Mr. Sayre.&nbsp;&nbsp; I never copied his techniques directly but adapted several ideas.&nbsp; Most notable was his use of a small pedestal to hold the coin off the background enough that the texture was out of focus.&nbsp; I even found a copy of that issue of the magazine for sale online (but the seller says US only).&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/192946231/1970-grossbild-international-photo?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=vintage&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=photography%20magazine&amp;ref=sr_gallery_26" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/192946231/1970-grossbild-international-photo?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=vintage&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=photography%20magazine&amp;ref=sr_gallery_26" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/192946231/1970-grossbild-international-photo?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=vintage&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=photography magazine&amp;ref=sr_gallery_26</a></p><p>I still have a 5x7&quot; view camera in the attic but have not owned film for it for 25 years.&nbsp; I am perfectly happy now with my digital images.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
