Right now if you buy a Sony NEX-3 or NEX-5 w/ 16mm kit lens, you can get $150 off the 18-55mm lens.  The deal is also good on the NEX-VG10 camcorder, which comes equipped with an 18-200mm lens – and you get to choose between the 16mm f/2.8 or 18-55mm lens for the $150 discount.

More details on the deal over at B&H Photo.

Think Tank Photo has announced a new bag aimed at Micro Four Thirds and other mirrorless camera users – the Retrospective 5.  Akin to the rangefinder-esque design of many of today’s mirrorless cameras, the Retrospective 5 camera bag mixes old-school look with new-school features.

It is available in black and Pinestone colors and can accommodate a mirrorless camera with 2-3 lenses and several other accessories.  The Retrospective 5 should be available in May for $129 direct from Think Tank Photo’s website.
