I use this one ebay # 190588212714 I love it, it took a bit of playing around to get used to the settings but at 30 bucks from HongKong I can't complain. I also wall mounted it and made a lazy susan under it so I can quickly scan a large number of coins under magnifaction. |

 My rig. The lazy susan is made from a commercial size pizza sauce tin. The paint job helps me set the colour settings on the microscope. |

@Dvereckis For 30 bucks, wow, not bad. What kind of field of view do you get with that? Up to 2" across (ie can you take a pic of an entire coin face?)

for the first pic the lens is about 5 inch away from the ruler which is about the maximum it can focus at.  the second pic is in contact with the ruler. So tis is pretty much the max at both ends of it's ability.  |

Thanks for the quick reply. I think for 30 bucks I'm going to go ahead and pop for one.

The only issue I had wih mine was I couldent take still shots only video with it a first. I found the easiest solution was to use my print screen key them past it into paint.
