Hot on the heels of releasing a pair of new lenses in the past week, including the Viltrox 50mm f/1.4 Pro and the Viltrox AF 85mm f/2 Evo, the prolific Chinese lens maker took to Reddit to host an "Ask Me Anything," or AMA.
Jaecoo sales are up 1480% year-on-year in September.
4,651 new light vehicles found a buyer in Panama in September, with the year-to-date tally standing at 42,762. Toyota (+9.9%) remains by far the most popular carmaker but can only muster 16.9% share vs. 19.4% in the year through September.
