Jon K Pillar of the Community United States 723 Posts	Posted 03/09/2020 2:16 pm Those of you that are taking awesome photos with ping pong balls on you Jansjos . . . What brand balls are you using? I have no illusion that my ping pong balls are my only trouble, but hey, it can't hurt to take a census. Edited by Jon K 03/09/2020 2:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 03/09/2020 6:00 pm Table tennis balls are difficult to photograph due to the huge depth of field required at close range. Get table tennis ball photos right, and you have well solved most of your lighting problems and all of your focus problems, when it comes to coin photography. Report this Post to the Staff
Jon K Pillar of the Community United States 723 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 03:50 am Maybe no one is using ping pong balls. Or taking awesome photos with them . . . I am using Penn. And do not like them. They suck up a lot of the light! Anybody? Report this Post to the Staff

What I have tried is taping Canson Opalux paper diffusers over the Jansjos. I eventually switched to the lens-attached diffuser, after a couple of intermediate steps. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 03/22/2020 03:32 am Great pics rocky! Too bad your numismatic information is not on par. The cent as you can see is not a proof coin. Nor did the mint make a mistake. It's a typical 1996 penny from a proof like plastic holder. They all had specimen finish that year. You need to buy a Charlton's or similar reliable guide to Canadian coins. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 03/22/2020 03:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
