• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

I recently found a 1963 British penny, from before decimalization I have no idea why I have it. It may have been in my parents' home, but I have no idea why they would have one. My first trip to England was in 1976, after this coin had been retired. Shilling coins were still in circulation since they were used along side 5 new pence coins. I have been trying out my EF lenses adapted for the Fujifilm 100S, so I decided to try that combination to shoot the coin. The diameter is about 1 1/4 inches, so the larger sensor allowed would fit the coin at 1:1. The lens is the 100mm f/2.8 non-L macro, shot at f/11. I've cropped it, but I could see no vignetting in the original shot. The date is shown as a 100% crop. The whole coin shots are about 16% size.
