I have a collection of metal lapel pins which I would like to photograph to produce an illustrated catalog. I am interested in hearing your thoughts about using a digital camera or a film camera for this project. Please include any equipment recommendations you might want to make. Thanks Paul

The Nikon Coolpix 950 does excellent macro work.

Try zoomnable photos at: http://www.michael.mckelvey.btinternet.co.uk/Porfolio.html (taken with a 950) and see what you think. Michael
