Is there any practical use for a BEOON today? I´m offered one but it seems limited to shooting coins & stamps etc.

Thanks.

Gunnar,

If the only camera you own is a Leica M and you need to take pictures of stamps and coins, the BEOON might be handy.

The best suited cameras for this type of photography are SLR's with macro lenses or extension tubes.

All the best,

Jan

Interesting mainly for collectors... if you are one and it is rather cheap for your pockets, buy... as have been said, in strictly user terms, it has a limited specific field.

Thanks gentlemen!

An SLR and macro lens / extension tubes is better but also much more expensive.
I use my Beoon stand to copy old photographs for people and the negatives can be scanned and copied to disc thus enabling them to be e-mailed etc
