This is a picture of a center pin from a Samick product that had black gook in the bushings - caused all sorts of slow action center problems.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This picture was taken with my Nikon CoolPix 4300 <A href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/CP4300/C43A.HTM">http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/CP4300/C43A.HTM</A>  One of the reasons I bought this model was because it will focus down to 1.6 inches from the subject. I think this model has been out for at least three years now. No doubt there are others available that have similar close-up focus abilities. I have been very happy with the camera. It's all I'll need for a very long time.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry Farrell</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:00da01c68820$da4bce90$0301a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>----- Original Message ----- </FONT> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>> Speaking of not having a camera, can someone recommend one that I <BR>> could use to take close-up pictures<BR>> of piano related things? </FONT></DIV></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>SNIP</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>> <BR>> Avery Todd<BR>> University of Houston<BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
