Hello, everyone. I am shooting commemorative coins recently. I use coaxial light to shoot, and the effect is good

on the top right your pics are much brighter than on the bottom left, so I don't think your lightning is coaxial what should be equal bright all over the frame beside lens vignetting.

P.S.: I also think that creating some shadow throw on a coin makes it much more pleasant to view, so yes the pics are nice :wink: .

Putting a glass in front of the lens does not make it "coaxial lighting" where even illumination is the goal (no shadows).
