Larryh86GT Valued Member United States 326 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 09:50 am I just bought this tripod on ebay for around 5.00 and it works just right for holding the camera steady for macro pics. This is not too shabby for point and shoot camera eh? My 1st try with the tripod setup: Report this Post to the Staff

It would be interesting to see how well it takes a close up, like the date or mintmark or other coins, with a magnifier or loupe. Also, if you can post the brand names/models of your equipment, that would be helpful, including the lamp you use. Report this Post to the Staff
Larryh86GT Valued Member United States 326 Posts	Posted 01/09/2012 6:26 pm The camera is just a Sony S700 with 7.2 MP but I love it for it's ease of use. The LED lamp has no name on it. My brother who lives in Las Vegas gave it to me when he came to visit over Thanksgiving and it was perfect for taking pictures of coins. I have yet to attempt to use one of my loupes with it for even a better a close up but will give it a try soon. Report this Post to the Staff
