It's doubtful you'll see any marked difference at other than 100% crops with these lenses. Don't forget, we're only playing with the last 5% here - either lens makes you look like a pro with images small enough to post online. That said, the Nikon will establish its' superiority at full size once you've dialed it in to a particular coin.

You'll probably see a greater difference just by processing the chroma noise out from a RAW image, which will somewhat homogenize the surfaces. A little sharpness will be lost, but you have sharpness to burn with this kind of rig, and the final look should be closer to "in-hand."

I doubt the difference will be any more noticeable in RAW. This just reinforces the point that there is not much difference between lenses. Even if you shot the same coin with a 75ARD1 or a 105PN, you will not see a significant difference unless you look at 100% pixel level.

I didn't even think to look at it at 100% cropped.

I still have to learn how to do this.

I hate it when I don't see someone's response before responding. Luckily Dave and I are on the same page...

Today I received my Opulux paper, (10 sheets).

I really did not realize just how big each sheet actually is. Wow.

Now I just need some design ideas. I have read the older threads about Smile Directors but there are really no new designs or posts.
Can you guys lend me a hand?

Thanks,

Charlie.

I got my Opalux yesterday. It came in a huge outer box, about 2 x 2.5 x 0.75 feet, filled with almost a lawn bag full of plastic packing peanuts. There was an inner flat box containing the 10 sheets.

The paper diffuses about as well as the thin regular paper I was using, but absorbs less light and looks to be slightly whiter and less yellow. Of course, its a lot thicker and stiffer, and might be good for paper cone diffusers.
