Digital Photography for Coins
Here is a good site for information on digital photography for coins.
For coin photography I recommend any brand (my current camera is a Contax) of 35mm single lens reflex with a built in light meter that reads through the lens (preferably favoring the center of the image or 'center weighted'). The lens must be interchangeable to allow introduction of some sort of spacing device behind the lens to allow the rig to focus close enough to fill the frame with the smallest coin in your collection.
He is experimenting with a digital scanner, but still thinks cameras are best.
