First unboxing pictures of the Yongnuo YN450 Four Thirds sensor smartphone

This is really an odd camera: It’s a smartphone, it has a FourThirds sensor but it uses the Canon EF-mount. It would have  made a lot more sense if the Yongnuo YN450 would feature a Micro Four Thirds mount. Lenses would be smaller and the mount flange distance much short. I hope  they will make a MFT mount version  of this!

Anyway, here are the first  unboxing pictures of the Yongnuo YN450 via Weibo:

 

 

 

Veydra LLC has gone out of business

Veydra Co-Founder Ryan Avery posted this on Facebook:

Veydra LLC has gone out of business due to the conclusion of ongoing litigation between the founders of the company.

I offer special thanks to everyone involved in the success of Veydra; first and foremost all Veydra Kickstarter backers and customers. Specific thanks to those who made it possible from the start; Phil Holland, Illya Friedman, Matthew Duclos, Joshua Brown, Alex Jacobs, and all the supporters too numerous to mention here.

It’s been a wonderful journey and I thank you all for your support and kindness.

Pity, they made some great MFT lenses!
