Just got to get use to the lighting and focus... Just had to get one for myself. :mrgreen:

This is what I started with... Hey, it's either this or a new lense for the T2i...

Just have to find some good software. I'm running on windows 7 x64..

It was WAY smaller than I thought it was going to be. The stand it comes with is way under sized. My guess is I am going to need a mount at least 9" up to grab larger coins. Well, doesn't matter. I have something to dink with.

I like this stand. Wish I would have seen this before I got the one I have.
