iPhone camera adapter for coin photography

I just used a couple rubber bands to attach a loupe to my iPhone and took some pics of this tiny gold 1/4 dollar.





I think they're better than the ones I took with my Sony Cybershot and a tripod. BG-229

I'm sending this in and hoping the obverse scratch doesn't hold it back. I'll do a 'guess the grade' later.

Surprisingly, not bad.

I have to agree. I am continually surprised by the image quality some people can achieve with the iPhone. I can't even get close.

I cannot wait to try it at home tonight.

that might be the funniest thing Ive ever seen...


LOL!!!

Pure genius, I gotta try this.

While I clearly do not have a future in the newly burgeoned area of iPhone/loupe photography – I just couldn't resist.

Reminds me of the first hands free cell phone:

Cool! Fasten an Eschenbach 3-6-9 to such a camera and you'll have a pretty wide selection of close-up ranges, but then you'd be putting an expensive loupe on an expensive phone to do macro on the cheap. The reverse-snob-appeal would be improved by fastening your loupe to the camera on a crappy, free phone like 1/4 MP camera on the one I have.

Nice!!!! I love fractional gold, most of what I have has holes in it though, like this one...



Can you tell I added another rubber band around the iPhone, these pictures are better.

That is pretty convenient when at a show and you want to send a pic to someone as often you will have a loupe and an iPhone handy!

very cool

I just read a book
The Best Camera is the One That's With You
by Chase Jarvis

a small book that was completely taken with his iPhone

So much easier to carry than a DSLR Nikon with a copy stand and lights.

Not bad at all. What is the size of a 1/4 dollar.
Must be like a grain of sand no?

If I did the math right , 8.4 million of these fractional quarter dollars would fit inside one of those giant Morgans!

Spare no expense. You know we're worth it!
