Photo equipment

Has anyone ever used one of these? I wonder if it's any good.

I don't have one, but I know a lot of people have those dino-lites and like them very much.

The example micro photos look pretty nice for the cost, but I was wondering if you could use it for macro applications as well.

 

Thanks for the info

A bellows will take higher quality photos.

Or a good quality macro lens

I like it! That is if the claimed results are accurate.

My experience does not agree with previous posts if the are meant to imply that a macro lens or addition bellows will take as close up images as a microscope. That said, I don't have experience with the "dino lite". I do own, however, an AmScope MD600 microscope digital camera that I do enjoy using. You might google it up.

The macro lenses are nice but I've seen pics using a dino-lite. They are great if you have the need to really disect a coin.

You can get pretty close, Bobby. Click the picture for the full size image. This was just from the image of the entire coin. I think I could get closer if need be.

Zack, is this using a dino-lite. I know they get very close. I've seen some great close-up shots, even closer than yours. I only have macro lenses but with my Canon having a super macro mode I hardly ever use them.

No, these are from my 105mm Sigma Macro on my EOS XT.
