Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 07/17/2014 4:17 pm Nice pictures. The focus on the obverse shot is good, but in my opinion the reverse is slightly out of focus. The colour is not a problem, if you use GIMP you can edit out the red tint. What kind of diffusion are you using? Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 07/17/2014 4:24 pm I hope you don't mind, I made some slight edits using GIMP. Without knowing what the coin looks like in hand it's hard to edit the image accurately. Is this closer to what the coin looks like in hand? Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 07/17/2014 11:55 pm Gene...as long as the lens is decent you can get good pics with it, as you've shown. But same advice I give everyone...rotate the coin properly, crop it square, and get your white balance right. And I agree with CB, reverse looks OOF. How are you focusing?...Ray Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 07/19/2014 02:50 am Thanks for all of your opinions..the fact is.I havebeen trying to shoot with this new lens... a canon FD 100mm macro lens in which the apeture does not work.. meaning I can move the lens apeture for stopping up or down. but its disfuctionable... SO the apeeture is wide open and not F/stops are usable with this broken lens...however...I have found some amazing like/ness of the coin...true color...even thought the lens has noooo...F/STOP that work..But with old school lenses, I have often found outI can use it to a certain perspective... withought a functioning apeture for this macro lens.....I can't use it at all levels..the key is to find out where I can use it...Due to the inabillity.. of F stops...you can see. some trouble I may have./I must say... its really a sharp crisp lens.....even thought I have so much work on lighting.... tooo much but I thankyou for you info...
