WTB/WTT: Looking to maybe buy/trade for a decent camera setup for coin photography...

illini420

Been using my $300 point and shoot for several years now and I can just never get clear images of the small coins or closeups of varieties with what I have. I think it's finally time to upgrade to something more professional.

Been looking at maybe buying a Canon Rebel T3i w/ the standard 18-55mm lens. Then also getting a macro lens for the coin photos, maybe a Sigma 150mm or a Canon 100mm.

I'll probably just hunt around online to find a good deal and just buy something, but I figured I'd post here first to see if anyone has something like that lying around that they aren't using much. I could trade coins for it too. Anything I have listed on eBay is fair game (at a better price than listed of course), the link is in my signature line... and I have other coins too that are not listed.

Thanks!

PM sent. from what i "learned" from the photo pros is that the sigma 150 mm lens is only available for Nikon cameras. for Canon, i believe they have their own in house brand.
