andywoj00 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 9:09 pm Yep, I made one of those as well. What lens are you using? I have an 80mm El-Nikkor and can shoot 41mm ASE dollars fine. However, my bar extension on the stand is 8" long vs. 6" so I can get a little more height with the bellows setup. Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 9:12 pm I'm using a 75mm El-Nikkor, but do have tubes and a helicoid that NoPoMoCo suggested. Report this Post to the Staff
rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 9:13 pm chequer you are doing a great job your photos great. NoPoMoCo suggestion is a very good one. on big coins if you have a focusing helcoid 2 sets of macro tubes. but you will only need a couple of pieces on large coins. I took a image of a coin the mate to yours. using that very setup here it is. I learned this from ray and it really works good. Report this Post to the Staff
SolomonValley Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 05/31/2016 1:24 pm What brand of copy stand is that...I am thinking about upgrading my old stand a 1960's testrite to something with a little more adjustment capability...thanks Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 05/31/2016 10:32 pm Really nice photo, Rocky. @SolomonValley I have no idea as to brand. I don't see any markings, other than a number hand engraved on the back which is likely for security (identity). It's a microscope stand and I got it from one of the members here - rmpsrpms who may chime in if he knows. Report this Post to the Staff
andywoj00 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 11:42 am @SolomonValley It's a modified Bausch &Lomb a-stand. Like these: http://www.macrocoins.com/imaging-systems.html Ray made me one. I made a second to keep it setup for RMS viewing. Report this Post to the Staff

SolomonValley Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 06/04/2016 12:41 pm Looks like it may help for fine tuning adjustment... Report this Post to the Staff
andywoj00 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 06/04/2016 1:22 pm This looks like quite the operational setup. I thought mine was Frankenstein Report this Post to the Staff
SolomonValley Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 06/04/2016 1:26 pm LOL...I am starting to extend to far out with my setup now...I may have to get a larger base...some day when I have more $$$ I will purchase a little more modern setup...but I get quite good pics, good enough for reselling coins on Amazon...
