thanks ray the plastic. I purchased at a building supply store. the new metal racks one installs for closets shelves. they has a plastic cover that sits on top of the shelf 16 inches wide 8 feet long. to cover your rack so dust and small objects don't come through. it cost 8 dollars a roll here in Canada. its very close to your diffuser. I like this lens. have a great one.

I have started to work on putting together. a projector lens setup. right know every thing is loose. I hand held the lens to helicoid snapped the photo in live view with the mouse. I think this will make a very good coin lens once I get so pieces to made it solid. best thing about this is the setup will fit in rays el cheapo thread. ok here is one photo hand held the lens against the helicoid.  |

trying to get the projector lens lined up hand held. wanting to see how clear I can get it with a Minolta 100m f4 bellows lens. between the projector lens and the camera. I got a another projector lens coming should work better. here is 2 images. the one I notice is the depth of field. projector lens most of them are flat field   |

I think you have moved up a couple of steps with this projector lens, I'm still trying to work with my regular stuff. Looks good.
Will bring up my thread shortly, just got things set back up after the summer

mcshilling thank you. yes I want to try to keep the cost down. but if I can get it right. I think it will be a great way to image coins. I believe if I can get this set right. one wont have to even do any editing. I have purchased 3 different projector lens. I will see where it goes. If it works. I will show you all step by step. how to do it or if some one else has done this. then please jump on and show us have a great one.

ok do some photos with the Nikon d7100 Minolta macros lens 100mm 1:4 for some reason. when I shoot in manual. I can not get the images light enough. so I set the Nikon in aperture priority. the images are bright. trying to figure out how to set this camera. I don't have it tethered. I just gently squeeze the shutter and hope for the best. here is 2 images. ray if you get a chance could you tell me what the setting should be any suggestion. I thought I need to use this camera well here they are   |

I purchased a brand new canon. there is a couple of things that I have to set. this canon is slightly different. it came early with and 18 to 55 mm kit lens. I took a couple of quick photos with the Rodentstock lens. these are of the 1969 Canadian nickel dollar. this coin is in a plastic holder. the camera shoots pretty good. this canon I have set up the micro focuser and I have set the focus magnifier. here are the 2 images   |
