What kind did you get?  I start making my Christmas list soon!

The one I bought is in the first pic. It has a slight movement in it when you adjust focusing. The second is the one I wanted to buy as it is supposedly and upgraded model and sturdier. Wife gave me an ebay gift card and ebay didn't sell the upgraded model, it was only on amazon. Lol  But I do like this. The movement doesn't really effect anything so I can take pics pretty good with it. Less than $100. The brand is Opti-Tekscope. Opti-Tek 

 

Btw, the full coin pics were taken with it also.

What kind of lighting works best with it, internal, or external incandescent or fluorescent?  Enquiring minds would like to know.
