Jackar 34mm f/1.8 lens now in Stock and shipping via eBay.
.
Last week I reported about that new Jackar 34mm f/1.8 lens with native E-mount. The lens is right now in Stock and shipping on eBay (Click here to check price and shipping terms).
As I have told you this is a manual lens and all specs and images can be read/seen at Snapshooter.jackarlens.com and on Flickr. It’s absed on the design of current C-mount lenses that usuall sell for $40 here on eBay. But they changed the material, finishing, the ring is larger and turning has been improved. Plus the lenses are multi-coated and of course mount is NEX. It comes with a lens hood and genuine leather case as you see form the images below. So is it worthy to pay more for it? That is a question you have to answer for yourself

the finishing they added onto this toy lens does make it look much nicer, I’ll admit that. But having owned the fujian I must say the output of this lens is as good as a cheap lomo (which can be fun sometimes, but not worth the $189 price tag)

My God… “With its f1.8 ultra-large aperture”
mhhhh, f/1.8 – ultra-large my a$$ :>

7 months ago |Kevin has stated the truth already. It is in fact a cheapo CCTV lens which can barely cover the APS-C sensor. The focal plane is not flat enough that it can’t get a sharp enough image across the frame until you shrink the aperture to f/11 or smaller. Some copy may not be good as it can’t focus correctly on certain distance. The only merit is that the center image quality is relative good and is faithful to the original color. It may be a good toy for $25 USD with adapter. But never try to have one for $189. You are fool if you get one.
The hood is made by plastic and the letter on the lens is made by printing. Don’t go for it.
