kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 08:44 am Here's my setup: I use a camera stand rather than a tripod. A tripod leg was always getting in the way. But currently I'm only using one light source, not two. LIGHT - OTT-LITE with a 13w "white light" tube. CAMERA - Nikon D90 LENS - Nikkor 60mm f1:2.8 micro Report this Post to the Staff

rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 6:01 pm kanga great setup. LIGHT - OTT-LITE with a 13w "white light" tube. this is the most natural white light one can purchase. here in the province where I live these lights are 149.00 Canadian a piece.. I asked the manger will these come on sale. he said just before Christmas 50% off. think I will grab a pair of these. like your setup they light the coins very evenly . kanga you are doing excellent work. like your images. I can tell you thou if you ever want to try a bellows and can find a Minolta 100mm f4 bellows lens. they are great very easy to focus and very fast. if you are doing a lot of coins. have a great one Report this Post to the Staff
