jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 06/04/2023 10:25 pm I've been taking coin photos since the early 2000s and until the past few years a Nikon coolpix with macro mode is all I used. Here is my current setup. I use Sony software imaging edge with my camera tethered by a usb c cable. I still haven't settled on lights some coins look better with a flashlight held over them and some look better with my on camera lights shown or a flash with a diffuser.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5492 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 10:40 am Nice setup. (Sure wish I could keep a work area that neat and strictly for coins.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
