System-X2 Low cost Full Coin copy stand system

My System-X Copy Stand Coin Photo System has been very popular, and I have sold quite a few since introducing them about 18 months ago, including several in the "X2" configuration shown below. For reference, System-X is shown on my website here:

System-X includes a fine-focus stage for imaging details at higher magnification. However, less than half the folks who have purchased systems from me have been interested in shooting details, and the fine-focus stage is overkill for shooting full coins. To lower the cost and speed focusing of full coins, I created System-X2 as shown below, eliminating the fine-focus stage and adding a focusing rail to the bellows. This reduces the cost of the system and makes it a little easier to use for full-coin imaging. The fine focus stage can be added later if the user decides to do details shots.

The system below includes a black surface treatment and one of my "patented" lens-mounted diffusers, with the one shown optimized for slabbed halves. I can optimize the diffuser for any size of slabbed coin, or for raw coins.

The System-X2 as shown below is $575 plus shipping.

Great seller and product. Though I used my own Canon camera and lighting, I can attest that the copy stand, lens, and bellows are perfect for coins. I am a very novice photographer, and I was able to get fantastic images in no time. I'm sure the lights and diffuser shown here would have made it even easier.

I am very happy with my results with this system.
