Old school. Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 (from a previous millennium and taking the new 1.44 MB 3.5" floppy) with a B&L 7X loupe. And yes, I did make a pinhole camera as a Boy Scout.  Slanted date on a Morgan dollar. Prior to that I used a a document scanner. Kurt |

LOL... boyscout! I actually was meaning to write on this post today! I discovered something new for the iphone in relation to photo taking! Follow me now... To turn your iphone into a macro wonder! Take a SMALL SMALL drop of water and just put it on your lens! Then just wait to be AMAZED!  |

A diamond buyer was using this technique to take pics of diamonds. She had a light source she held the diamond up to from the side, then held the loupe over the iPhone 4 camera lens.
She took quite good pics this way.

How did you put the drop of water onto the lens? Also, could you post a picture of a mint mark from a Morgan dollar, with the drop of water on the lens? Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

I squeezed a cotton ball almost dry so it doesn't drip unless I apply a good deal of pressure to avoid over saturating. Absolutely I'll take one for you tomorrow.
