    @robec1347 I found you on here as well! So not only on Coin Talk!
    But check out @FriendlyEagle79 lens hood that is modded to be an axial lighting setup! That is wild and so creative! Robec is a great photographer. 
    @Revenant do you have any posts or journal entries that show your current Ring-Light Setup? I'm sure I could do a simple Google search and find it relatively easy, but I like to see people's homemade setups!
    Thank you all for the input and the comments and advice. I love all the Numismatic communities so much.
    Now I need to work with my different lenses and see what works best for my setup. I have a 0.43x Wide Angle Lens with Macro 58mm, it's a little screw on lens that attaches to other lenses. I also have four other little lens caps if you will? They're 1x, 2x, 4x and a 10x. So, I got my work cut out ahead of me. That also means finding lighting, either utilizing the axial lighting or finding other types of lighting which both may be best. Then working on camera settings. I don't want to just use the Auto Mode, or the Macro Setting. I was suggested to pick up a book by I believe his name was Mark Goodman possibly. Either way this is the start of my journey and glad to have some people in my corner.

    Great looking 55DDO. Unfortunately I never had the pleasure of seeing it in hand. I think I did see most of your Memorial set. That was a wonderful set. Is it still intact with the new owner?
