I have built a third Macro Setup, similar to the ones from a couple weeks ago shown in this thread:
Earlier Macro Setups Thread
Setup #3 consists of:
- B&L Microscope Stand with new reversible Stage Plate
- Pentax Auto-Bellows (M42 on lens end; T-Mount on camera end)
- Nikon Camera T-Mount Adapter
- Nikon 105mm Lens
- Lens Caps
- LED Gooseneck Lamps (2)
I'm asking $375 Shipped (in US) for this setup, with payment by PayPal or USPS Postal Money Order.
To use the setup you will need a compatible DSLR. I can provide an adapter for some cameras other than Nikon.
Let me know what you are shooting with and I'll see if I have an adapter for you.
Here are some photos:
- The setup in highest magnification setting
- An overall picture of the same Morgan Dollar from previous pics
- The same Dollar at highest magnification.

Curious, but how is the glare off the slab when you use this setup with slabbed coins?
<< <i>Whoa, that is awesome. I'd love to have one, but I should work on a DSLR first.

Here are a few pics of a 1938-D Buffalo (actually, an un-attributed D/D RPM-2) in PCGS MS65 OGH. Sorry, but I did not polish the slab before taking the pics. First pic shows a "high" lighting angle that shows slab glare over the coin surface. This height gives good color definition for raw coin toner shots, but can't be used on slabbed coins . Second is at a lower angle with the slab glare just outside the periphery of the coin. You could remove the glare with a circular crop. Third is at an even lower angle, with the glare outside the frame of the pic.

what spectrum of light do those LED lamps put out and what kind of "bulb" is it? Purchased where?
