well I have been working a bite with the Nikon tethering software. I have had no problems. it is very easy to work with. it is similar to canon liveview with just a few differences. I would suggest to anyone who wants to know how it works to go to youtube and view the 40 minute video. it is called controlmynikon 5.2. to buy the software it is 29.99 if you want a hard disk backup. it is another 20 dollars. also when you purchase this software it give you licence's to 3 computers. nice if you have more than one. they also show you how easy it is to see your histograms and they also show you how to do stacking. anyway here is a couple of pics for your viewing it show what it looks like on your computer dave or ray if you guys don't mind maybe it would be ok if you guys could add a link. I don't know if that is ok but you guys will know

mcshilling the Nikon program magnification is very different than canon program in liveview. I will take a few shots with the Nikon. its different I like it very much but I have to say the canon is a very excellent camera. I have found some information on super macro lens home made. may build one of them later. I tried the microscope objective that ray and dave talk about that is some thing else. mint marks and small errors fill the image. I have a microscope. I find it so much more easier to just set back and watch the monitor. than to stare through the microscope. coil roll hunting is so fast with the canon and the right lens and a small block of wood with art paper on it. I can check coins so fast it takes no time to do a roll. what I am finding is amazing sure am glad that dave and ray and the rest of the member kept me on course. this is what I was looking for thank you all. I have to still learn how to crop and resize images. plus want to learn how to use photo enhancement program have a great one

some more pics with the Nikon d7100. I have a Minolta 100mm macro lens 1:4 mounted. I can not raise the lens far enough. to get a full silver dollar in the photo. I went to a glass store and bought some glass for axel lighting. while I was there. I was telling them about the problem with the light reflecting off the silver and nickel coins. they sold me a material to put on my janjos lamps works pretty good. these images was taken with on the lamps for diffusion. let me know what you think. if you like to know what this stuff is called. I will let you know
