Curiosity: That Viltrox 30-300mm t/4.0 lens will cost $65,000

Look at the video to see how big this lens is. This is a massive “statement lens” from Viltrox that wants to show the world what they can do. And this lens is not just a “mockup”. It will go into production and sell for $65,000!

Additional Easter egg in this video: Viltrox is working on a 20-200mm t/2.0 S35 lens!

Selling hot: Excope DT1 is a 200x magnification camera….but with misleading image samples?

The 200x Excope DT1 has made a ton of sales on Kickstarter. But before you place your preorder read the latest article on PetaPixel. They made a serious investigation into the marketing material they got from the company and discovered that some images were taken on “normal” cameras like the Canon 70D. P.S.: Great work Jeremy Gray!

UPDATE: The Excope team contacted me and told me this:

All the necessary changes have also been made to our Kickstarter campaign page to avoid any confusion among our backers in the future.

Below some youtube videos that re likely to NOT be misleading and do show how the camera works:
