Taking pictures of your coins.

7 posts in this topic

What type of equipment do you use to take pictures of your coins?

 

I have a Nikon D80 with a 18-135mm lense and I cannot seem to take a picture worth a squat!

 

HELP!

You may want to pick up this book, I've heard good things of it. I sent my favorite coin to him for imaging, he really knows his stuff.
