Co-axial lighting is well known for coin photographers. Most setups involve a piece of glass tilted at 45 degrees angle, put coin in a tube underneath the glass, then shoot image through the glass. The tube usually is used to block ambient lights so that the coin will be lit by reflected light by the glass. • This type of setup provides good evenly lit lighting because the light comes in parallel to the optical axis. One drawback is the image is too contrasty, particularly if there are a lot of scratches, even tiniest scratches will show up. • Here in this video, instead of using a large piece of glass, the glass is taken from an UV filter, in this particular case, a 62mm UV filter, its glass has 59mm diameter. A 3D printed cage is used to tilt the UV filter glass at 45 degrees. This results a very compact setup, easily stored system. • All materials are easily accessible except a 3D printer is needed. Or you can have it printed by 3D printing services. • Please read description for this file, it has multiple components in it, need to separate them • https://github.com/mjkzz/DIY/blob/258...
