There are still some residual Cyber Monday deals left at Amazon (Click here to see them). And also the Panasonic G3 with lens for $299 at Bhphoto (Click here) deal is still onogin. One thing that surprised me is to see that the Nikon 1 cameras are the most sold mirrorless stuff during these days (here is the ranking). It did beat all the rest of the Sony/Olympus/Fuji/Panasonic deals. Nikon does nice cameras but the Nikon 1 is in my eyes a sub average system. So I am wondering if someone can explain me why they did sell so well in these days…
Anyway, let’s go back to the new Jackar 34mm f/1.8 lens that is now for sale for the first time on [shoplink 35206 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. I have been told by the makers that the design of the lens is actually almost the same of current $40 [shoplink 35035 ebay]C-mount 35mm lenses[/shoplink]. Jackar informed us that they changed some material, finishing, the ring is larger and turning has been improved. Plus the lenses are multi-coated and of course mount is NEX. Of course what you also get is that lens hood and genuine leather case you see on the picture.

They discounted deeper, they have fewer models. Get the numbers on revenue by system and the picture should change a lot.
But why is the mount Nex if the lens is advertised for Micro Four Þirds?
Nikon 1 – if you put Ashton Kutcher in your display ads you can sell dog poo to an unsuspecting public. Personally I think the Nikon 1 is an overpriced joke.
Probably all marketing. Best Buy had a nice big display with Kutcher on it visible from a distance and Costco had a huge Nikon 1 display visible right when you walk in the door.
