Yes, it works with Morgans but you will need a 75mm enlarging lens minimum (not sure what your lens is)

Yes it works with all coins, but you do have to change lens and add or subtract extensions.

This I feel is overkill.I was afraid of the copy stand not being sturdy and the camera not being level with the base. I can raise or lower the camera easily to let the coin fill the field of view and of course manually focus with the lens.

An hours not too bad, if you can get a US mailing address, you can get Ray to make one up for you and mail it to the US. I think it would be a little costly to have it mailed right to you because of the weight. But I'd look into it.

That may be the best way to go. I'll look into getting a box/delivery if Ray has one available. Thanks

streg2...I was able to modify the Leica stand mount to accept a bellows. I mounted a Pentax AB with 75ARD1 lens (same as components you already have) and snapped the shot below. It has plenty of range for Dollars with this configuration...Ray

Looks good Ray, will that bellows on that stand work with any camera?

Not that I'm looking right now no $ and exchange too high.

Hi kanga can you give me a source for yours?


Been so long since I bought it I can't find my source.
If I recall correctly I just Googled "camera stand" until I found it.

Yes, you can adapt to Canon or Nikon or whatever. The Pentax bellows is M42 mount, so anything you can adapt to M42 you can adapt to the bellows.

If you decide you want to modify your stand to accept bellows, let me know. It involves cutting the mount short, and adding a face plate to mount bellows.
