undeRGRound New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 7:57 pm Agreed, 2 light sources, not diffused, would create odd double shadows. My single source was bad enough! The SsuperDave link helped me A LOT! I have lots of experience improvising and such, I'll likely set up something this weekend. 3 day weekend, due to Friday doctor's appt.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 10:40 pm Depending on how you take your images, it doesn't have to be expensive. Just the right tool for the job. I use a book light for my scope: For the larger scope I use the same light by changed it to 12V instead of 6V. I change the light bulb to a 14V bulb. It works great. I use a hard plastic quarter tube as a diffuser along with some adjustments. for full images without using a scope, I use a single light source and a macro lens on my camera for full coin shots: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ystem_03.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ystem_02.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ystem_01.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ystem_06.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...8_1930_4.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...62_PR__2.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...62_PR__3.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._H1952_2.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._H1952_3.jpg Hope this helps.
