eBay - Numismatic Photography Setup

rmpsrpms

I've built up a new setup, this time using a much larger K-Stand base rather than my usual A-Stand base. The base requires more room on a desktop but is a good size for use as a sorting work surface as well. The setup includes two lenses...one for full-coin viewing and one for high magnification viewing of varieties and such. It has a starting bid of $325 and buy it now of $450.

Note that the setup takes the place of a traditional Macro Lens and Copy Stand, but it has a wider magnification range and more precise adjustment than any traditional Lenses or Stands.

I can also build a custom setup for your particular needs. PM me for details.

Do you have sample photo's of coins taken from this setup?

If I wasn't going overseas for a few months (beginning Friday) I would probably have a strong interest in this...looks really nice

Sample photos have been uploaded to the eBay listing. I took shots at lowest mag with 75mm lens (full Dollar), medium mag (full Cent), and highest mag (detail of Cent). I also took shots at lowest mag with 35mm lens (Dollar date detail) and highest mag (star on Dollar obverse).

rmpsrpms- This one looks slightly different than mine. Love my setup. Thanks again for all your help.

Neat!

Auction ends in <24 hrs now. Lots of views and watchers, but no bids so far

Anyway, if a CU forum member uses BIN, I will give a $50 discount so the final price would be $400.

Also a reminder that I can custom build a setup to your specs and needs. I fully test the setups I build and provide proof photos to show the buyer the setup will do what they are looking for.

I am a watcher as well

How can you add a 105mm lens at that price?

You're probably thinking of a "dedicated macro" 105mm lens like the Nikon 105mm Micro Nikkor or similar. The lens I include with the setup for Nikon cameras is a 105mm Macro lens that is designed for use on bellows, so it does not have the integrated focusing helicoid or automatic aperture adjustments. The 35mm lens is the same, ie all manual operation. They are way cheaper than the dedicated macro lenses, and the optics are excellent. They also maintain a longer working distance than most 105mm dedicated macros built within the last 20 years or so.
