Some news on the OWL adapter…

Share

John sent me this:

I just got an email from the Chinese company MX Camera who sought startup funding through Indiegogo for their Owl drop in filter adapters for Canon, Nikon, and M43. I paid for 1 adapter but haven’t heard anything since March so I assumed the money was gone. Now they are asking for $25 dollars for shipping. I’ll bite the bullet and see if it’s just a fishing scam or the real thing.

Full info on the adapter on that 43rumors post.

This is the really popular camera stuff: Instant camera, Action camera and 360 degree camera!

Yes, the world keeps changing and we “classic” system camera owners look pretty old compared to it :)

Amazon just released an official press release to share the top three hot sellers during the photo holiday deal season:

First place (top seller): Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Instant Film Twin Pack – White
Second place: GoPro HERO4 SILVER
Third place: AmazonBasics Head Strap Camera Mount for GoPro

And among the most sold digital (non action) camera was the 360 degree Ricoh Theta S camera.
