    I have an Olympus C-2020Z and a Hi Tech Ultra Macro Lens. Now I need to figure out sizes. But I think it's going to be lots of fun. And yes KK, no more purple coins!!!

    Getting the size thing down...

    All you need now is a tripod. I got a good tip the other day. See how monticello is fuzzy on one end?? The depth of field is so shallow that the slight tilt of a coin in a holder results in difficulty getting it focused. Get a bean-bag to hold the coin and you can adjust the coin to compensate and the bag will hold it still.
