I’ve always been a little jealous of the compact telephoto lenses and the live composites that Micro Four Thirds shooters have access to. Well, my jealousy just deepened another level because some of the steepest discounts on lenses that I’ve seen over Black Friday and Cyber Monday are for Micro Four Thirds. In my hunt for deals, most lenses see maybe a 10 to 20 percent discount, but Cyber Monday Micro Four Thirds lens deals cut prices by as much as 50 percent.
While I ultimately chose the Fujifilm X Mount for the silm simulations, the lens discounts for my own system are largely a 10 percent drop that’s hardly worth the Black Friday hype. The discounts I’ve been spotting for the Micro Four Thirds system, however, are hundreds of dollars off, with some lenses even seeing a 50 percent discount.
