Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 08/13/2025 12:14 pm This device advertisement popped up in my feed. Thought it might be interesting to discuss. The Halumin ring casts light sideways into the ring interior. It's way out of my price range, but I immediately thought that it might be quite effective at photographing cameo on proof coins and die clash edges. 0_yzB4uJxi8 Report this Post to the Staff

Malyucov New Member Ukraine 6 Posts	Posted 08/14/2025 11:11 am I think this will be more interesting: i8Q8zLHyg_8 It's a special device for coin photography from the same producer. It seems very interesting, but a little expensive for me. Edited by Malyucov 08/14/2025 11:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4036 Posts	Posted 08/14/2025 6:29 pm Folks try interesting things when photographing coins! For sure lighting is the most difficult part of coin photography, and I've seen (and built for myself) a very wide range of creative solutions. I'm personally not fond of extreme side-lighting, though I have built systems for folks doing variety attributions that have very directional lighting in order to optimize shadow details and bring out the variety surface features.

Please note it not a simple side light. It`s light ring in the ring. I see somthing like this first time in my life. Report this Post to the Staff
