Sony A7r Mark II

pepactonius thank you found a craft store that sells canson trace paper. I no longer need to have diffuser on my janjo lamps. thanks for the tip. I also added another 17mm macro tube. a silver dollar just fits now perfect have a great one.

this is the 1977 short water line. I really like this camera

wanted to try this other lens. I purchased looks pretty good

here is 3 new images

I watched a demonstration on high lustre coins. the gentleman doing the demo. used a device called fresnel dome. it is and idea that has come out of Germany. this dome helps to light your coin perfectly every time. the images of the bright silver coins. that was done with this dome was stunning. it works well with copper actually any metal. I will see if I can find one of these domes and try it. if I can get the same results. it will make lighting the coins very easy any body interested to try themselves this dome is called a fresnel dome have a great one

I purchased a microscope objective 4 power. I explained to ray that I would like to get a little more view. so he told me to try a 3 power and gave me a link. where I purchased one off ebay here is the results of a 3 power microscope objective. see the rock on the island on the 1969 nickel dollar. the other image is of the opposite end of the canoe.

mcshilling yes they are pretty good. here what you can do with a 50mm lens. if you want a close up with a bellows.

oh thank you ray. I looked this up to understand what you meant ray. see near as I can tell. you would know more about this than myself. the sensor is so large on the Sony a7r. that when I crank the microscope objective all the way out. the image coming in can not fill the sensor. I think I am right not sure. but I believe that is what is going on. I googled this and that is what it looks like. ray Sony has come out with a stacking mount for there cameras have you seen this tool. very interesting.
