I just notice your camera is a Sony RX100M2...... oups that's maybe a problem to find accessories and adaptor, I tough you have a real professional camera with interchangeable lens. Maybe better go with a $ 50 USB microsope

I have a $600 Amscope Microscope/Camera setup sitting here collecting dust, cat hair, and cat puke because my Canon T3I and 100MM lens absolutely blows it away. I mean it absolutely destroys it in results and ease of use. Oh, and the microscope destroys the 2400 DPI scanner I threw out years ago in both categories.

Let's be clear on something, I'm evaluating if I will go digital with my album, part of it is the imaging time of 1000's of stamps, I will store the stamps on vario, so probably a scanner will do best for me as the stamps will be already mounted on a sheet, but I'm open mind and want the best solution, so I will test other option too.

But on my bench let's say I'm placing a Bluenose in an album and I think I see something like a man on the mat variety, I just have to place the stamp under my bino switch the light on and I have the result in less than 10 seconds. If I was using a computer on my bench with camera, I will need the computer open , the software open , the camera open too. So in this situation the bino is at best.

Now if I was to ID 100 stamps on that night, the camera imaging station will be the best as I just sit and switch stamp
