Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3339 Posts	Posted 12/11/2015 4:22 pm I decided to trade in my old flip phone and see what the 21st Century is like. Can anyone make suggestions for a microscope app? I did a search of CCF and did not find any mentioned (maybe my search terms were too narrow?) Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3339 Posts	Posted 12/11/2015 4:49 pm Thanks - I found this one which is not from China (!)...would this work for detail closeups of coin details? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Op...=p5731.m3795 Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 12/11/2015 5:02 pm The 6S kind of bugs me, because its not really good at shooting pics up close... With my old 4S, I used a carved piece of hard foam about 3-4 inches off of the ground, and it worked great. Ever since I got my 6S, I have not been able to take adequate close up pics of coins. However, I did find that it can take up to 5-6 inches to achieve the same effect, which is annoying. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't be too sure that seller's from the US, glancing at their feedback I read: Quote: Said would come from NY on Oct 28 but came from China on Nov 3 Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3339 Posts	Posted 12/12/2015 08:40 am Thanks, everyone. This helps! You gave me some ideas on doing searches. I ordered this: Phonescope with up to 60x. I figured that for $21.25, including shipping, it was worth a try! Report this Post to the Staff
