I also found a great new usage for my OTT lights...
They allow me to clamp my halogens on their enclosure!

Yes... I'll post my first shots in a few minutes.
Nice coin dude! MJ
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Looks off center to me also, practice, you'll getit right after awhile...
<< <i>Nice first picture (actually second since you took a picture of the light with the DSLR, right?) Do you mind taking a photo of the full setup that you use? I'm just now getting into coin photography and am always looking for ideas on what other use. >>
I was considering a new Nikon D5000, however it will not meter older manual focus Nikon lenses.
Since I still own a lot (See Below) Nikon manual focus gear from the 35mm film era metering was somewhat important.
So I purchased a Nikon D200 Body over the weekend, which I just familiarized myself with today.
My image below was taken with a Nikon 55mm f2.8 AIS Micro manual focus lens, a tripod, and a pair of PAR20 Halogen 50w floods.
Whatcha think Broadstruck ?

I've been in the same boat for years as I felt it was a grand investment for something that becomes obsolete rapidly with continual evolving technology. So I've just played with point-n-shoots, until recently when I felt I'm limiting myself. I've only been playing with this Digital SLR for a few hours and feel like I was tossed behind an F-15. So it will take a few weeks until I figure things out.
Here's another raw shot.
<< <i>I just bought the D5000...now I just need to drop another $750 for the macro lens
get a SIGMA lens. Half the price and same quality pictures. Plus their warranty service is awesome. My friend broke his lens and they sent him a new one and he got it the very same day!!!
This is the III from a 1988 $5 gold eagle.
Why is that coin an AU58?
<< <i>Wow! You have excellent non-error coins too? You da man!

Thanks... Just a few!
It has a touch of rub you can see with a 10x loupe.

I am getting the sigma 150mm and it's $730 BIN on Ebay...I can't get the cheaper model as it has to have HMS becuase the D5000 don't have the built in autofocus drive so the lens has to be AF-S or HMS
