LeatherHawk - looks like a good one to me as well. Soon you'll be shooting and posting some photos I look forward to that.

It seems like a job at first. Wait until you start struggling with the lighting.. I'm going to do some shooting tonight on some older half dollars and get a round about grade for them. Hey west coin I'm having problems with trying to use tone, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Everything is at zero except contrast. That's at -4 and I posted pics was told they are gods just adjust tone. Mine editor is Microsoft that came with the laptop and can't find anywhere for tone on it. My Kennedy 72 no FG was a bit dark and a close up was requested on the FG site and that came out really nice, but uninteresting to one.

Update... I'm not thrilled at all with the camera I purchased. I have to actually look through the viewfinder to focus as it won't show on screen until I actually take the picture. Sigh. I"m going to work with what I have, but also look for a newer camera as well. It's going to be a Canon since I've got all the stuff for it. Wish me luck!
Walks back to the drawing board.....

Never noticed you were using the first Canon Rebel made, sorry for not catching that either. Here is the list from Canon that shows each model that has "Live View" in Still mode - which is what you want. https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/in...id=ART143778This is the lowest level camera that shows to support it, DSLR Rebel XSi They are selling in the $45 to $90 range on ebay for nice looking working body only. You should be able to sell yours and get the upgrade easy enough. Of course the newer the model the more pixels you will have in your photos, Most of my shots are made with a 7D which I find plenty large enough. I also might let you know about some other places I've bought camera gear (especially used when I was shooting for a living) Roberts Camera in Indianapolis, KEH.com were both great people to deal with, I purchased and saved a lot over the years on many lenses from both of them. I do know KEH would take your model in on a trade in, but they won't pay out much on the camera body you already have (you'd do better to sell it yourself).
