[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3055057, member: 36230"]"Viewer"? What you have isn't bad at all for detailed closeups. It's just not usable for whole coin images, at least based upon those in this thread. In fact, the results very much remind me of those of a certain Russian lens when the rear element is reversed. This, of course, could be purely coincidental, but the similarities are there. Unfortunately, I've little experience with such add-on "lenses" and cannot say if what we're seeing is just the result of poor design, or if there's more going on. Is there any way to try reversing this lens in order to see what happens? Many folks take whole coin shots using their iPhones and achieve acceptable results. By any chance do you have any old camera lenses or the like around?[/QUOTE]
