Post a close-up of one of your favorites, and what camera do you use?

...I like the Nikon D70 with a 60mm Macro lens. Here's a left reverse "detail" of my San Diego PCGS MS67. The D70 does a great job in capturing details, color and the over-all complete look of a coin. What do you use and have you tried more than one camera set-up?

Oh by the way, thanks once again coinguy1.

Nice shot!
I'm still trying to figure out how to post an image that large.
It keeps saying file too large.

MrSpud that is an amazing detailed shot .

I have not tried to do any close ups but here is an older full size image. I will continue to look through my archive for something better.

It was taken with an older sony 5MP pocket camera. I can't remember the model number off the top of my head DSC-T1 rings a bell, it has the slide up lense cover.

Mr. Spud, that looks like professional quality layout, something that you would expect to see in a book or something!

Very cool.

That is a fabulous presentation, Mr. Spud. I really like it...Mike

p.s. I use a Nikon D100 with 70-200 VR + Canon 500D closeup lens. Here's a shot of a 1851 N-13 large cent:

My world famous Unicorn variety.

Shot with my little, and I mean little as will fit in an altoids tin, pentax optio.

These are with a NIKON Coolpix 4200. I love how this camera can show a coin well enough to show off some of its characteristics. Like the great clashing seen on this bustie.

The Canon PowerShot S2

Nikon Coolpix 5400 with a +10 Macro Lens....

1951 Bugs Bunny PCGS MS65 ... Kodax 7630 + a kick a$$ microscope.

This is the 1st time I ever tried shooting thru the scope (it's not set up to hold my camera), so it's pretty bad technically. Looks promising tho!

This is 7X and I can zoom to 30X.

just this morning I was trying to get a shot of what looks like a micro 'F' stamp into a bustie. I'm using a Nikon 8700, but am still trying to learn how to use it.
