nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15511 Posts	Posted 01/11/2018 6:07 pm Coin photography does not have to be complicated in order to share informative images with us to help you... Many CCF members get by with their smart phones ... more use point-and-shoot mini cameras ... and then there are the professional members with true DSLR cameras and macro focus lenses. Let us know what you have as equipment in that continuum ... and then we can help. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Assuming you have a smart phone, you can use the idea in this thread http://goccf.com/t/160666&whichpage=1 Report this Post to the Staff

If you are going to be taking a lot of photo's this is the way to go, IMO Report this Post to the Staff
stevieb Valued Member United States 270 Posts	Posted 01/12/2018 12:40 pm Thank you so much. I thought I was going to spend a lot of dough on a new camera setup. I will be sending a lot of error coins as soon as I get a laser pointer. Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
stevieb Valued Member United States 270 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 8:51 pm Thanks for all your help. You can take the lens out of a laser pointer($9.99) secure it over the lens of a Smart Phone with a large bobby pin. You can use tape to hold it in place. It turns your Smart Phone into a microscope. I'm waiting for a laser pointer to show up from the mail. Report this Post to the Staff
