Skylum Is Shutting Down Aperty
credits: Skylum Skylum has decided to shut down its AI portrait editor Aperty this week, less than two years after launching it with the promise of five years of updates. The company says Aperty will officially close on November 4, although people who already own the software will still be able to use it. What they won’t be getting are any further updates. That is particularly frustrating considering lifetime licenses sold for around $250, with those five years of continued d

Tamron’s 20-40mm f/2.8 Comes To Nikon Z-Mount
credits: Tamron Tamron is bringing another one of its existing Sony lenses over to Nikon Z-mount, this time the 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD. The lens originally launched for Sony E-mount back in 2022, and the new Z-mount version keeps the same unusual combination of a 20mm ultra-wide starting point and constant f/2.8 aperture. It is also relatively compact for a full-frame f/2.8 zoom, weighing 380g and measuring 88.7mm long, with weather sealing and a 67mm filter thread. Optical

Aftershoot’s New RAW Editor
credits: Aftershoot Aftershoot, the company best known for its editing and culling software, has launched a free RAW editor called Photon. The software is meant for photographers who want to start working with RAW files but find traditional editors a bit overwhelming. Its main feature is an AI Coach, which looks at the photo, suggests possible adjustments and, importantly, explains why you might want to make them. So instead of simply applying an edit automatically, the idea

The Latest Fujifilm Rumours
credits: Fujifilm Good news for Fujifilm fans, it now looks like the X-T6 will arrive in November 2026, giving us a new launch window after the camera’s original September 4 announcement was postponed. For a while, that delay left open the possibility that Fujifilm might push the X-T6 all the way into 2027, but the latest information suggests we won’t have to wait quite that long. We are also getting another look at the X-T6 itself, following the detailed sketches of the fron

The Latest Sigma Rumours
Leaked product shot Sigma has a new lens announcement planned for October 24 in Cologne, and there are now some pretty strong indications of what we could see at the event. The expected lens is the Sigma 50-120mm f/2.8 DC OS | Contemporary, a fast telephoto zoom designed for APS-C cameras. And shortly before the event, the first product photos and a fairly detailed set of specifications have now leaked, giving us a much better idea of what Sigma is preparing. On APS-C, the 50

Shoten Koubou’s New Tribute 01 Lens
credits: Shoten Koubou Shoten Koubou just launched its first interchangeable lens, and for its debut the Japanese company is going back to one of the most interesting lenses from the 1950s. The new Shoten Tribute 01 LTM 50mm f/1.1 is a modern take on the Zunow 50mm f/1.1 from 1953, which was actually the first photographic lens to break the f/1.2 barrier. Original Zunow lenses are extremely rare today and can sell for around $10,000 when they do appear. The Tribute 01 is the

Samyang X Schneider-Kreuznach’s Upcoming Lens
credits: Samyang LK Samyang and Schneider-Kreuznach have another interesting full-frame zoom lens coming for Sony E-mount, this time covering everything from wide-angle to short telephoto without giving up the constant f/2.8 aperture. The upcoming AF 28-135mm f/2.8 FE was first shown as a prototype at IBC 2025, and we now have much more detailed specifications ahead of its planned February 2027 release. It is a pretty unusual zoom range for an f/2.8 lens, going much further a

Halide Camera App Gets New Update
credits: Halide The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max have been out for a couple of weeks now, and third-party camera apps are starting to make use of their new variable-aperture main camera. One of the first is Halide, which has just released version 3.2 with much more detailed aperture control than Apple provides in its own Camera app. While Apple gives you four aperture presets, Halide lets you choose any value between f/1.48 and f/4, so you can dial in something specific like f/2

Lomography’s New 35mm f/1.8 Petzval Lens
credits: Lomography Lomography has announced another unusual 35mm f/1.8 Petzval lens, and this one gives you considerably more control over the characteristic swirling bokeh these lenses are known for. The new Joseph Petzval Métamorphose 35mm f/1.8 is available for Sony E, Canon RF and Nikon Z full-frame cameras and features a dedicated bokeh control ring with seven different levels. Instead of being stuck with one particular Petzval look, you can decide how strongly the back

Leaked Sketches Reveal Fujifilm X-T6 Design
credits: Fujirumors New detailed sketches have given us one of our clearest looks yet at the upcoming Fujifilm X-T6, including a few interesting changes to the controls. Exactly when we will actually see the camera is still unclear. A September 2026 announcement had been rumoured for quite some time, but Fujifilm reportedly pushed the launch back. That means an announcement before the end of the year is still possible, although early 2027 is looking increasingly realistic. So

Brightin Star’s New 50mm f/2 Tri-Sight Lens
credits: Brightin Star Brightin Star’s new 50mm f/2 Tri-Sight has officially launched, after first appearing at CP+ earlier this year. The full-frame manual-focus lens is available for Sony E, Leica L, Canon RF and Nikon Z mounts, but what makes it special is a third control ring alongside the usual focus and aperture rings. This one is marked Smooth, Prime and Foams, and turning it actually moves a floating optical group inside the lens, changing the way your bokeh looks. Ea

The Latest Sony Camera Rumours
credits: Sony Another new Sony camera appears to be getting closer, although exactly what Sony is preparing is still a bit of a mystery. A recently registered camera carries the model number WW261362, and the available certification information points toward something in Sony’s mid-range or higher-end lineup. As usual with these registrations, there is no actual product name attached yet, but one possibility getting a lot of attention is the long-awaited Sony A7S IV. An A7S I

Imagen’s New Intelligent Studio
credits: Imagen Imagen’s Intelligent Studio is here. It is a new post-production workspace that combines manual RAW editing with the company’s existing AI tools. One of the main differences is that it does not force you through the usual cull, edit and export workflow in a fixed order. You can move between those stages however you want. It is also the first time Imagen has included a full manual RAW editing workspace, with controls for tone, colour, detail, lens corrections a

Venus Optics’ Upcoming Tilt-Shift Lens
credits: Venus Optics Venus Optics has another Laowa tilt-shift lens on the way, and this one is a little unusual because of just how bright it is. The upcoming Laowa T/S 24mm f/2 is more than a stop faster than the 24mm f/3.5 tilt-shift lenses Canon and Nikon have offered in the past. That is a pretty big difference for this kind of lens, especially when you are working in lower light. It could also make the 24mm useful for more than the usual architecture, interior and prod

The Latest Leica Rumours
credits: Leica There are quite a few Leica rumours floating around at the moment, giving us a better idea of what could be coming next from the company through the end of 2026 and into 2027. New cameras, different versions of existing models and several long-rumoured lenses are all being discussed, although some of these products have apparently been in development for years without actually arriving. Leica has not exactly been quiet in 2026 either, with the Noctilux-M 35mm f

SmallRig’s New Optical Viewfinders
credits: SmallRig SmallRig has launched a pair of external optical viewfinders for 28mm and 35mm lenses, giving photographers another way to compose without relying on a rear screen or electronic viewfinder. The 28mm External Optical Viewfinder provides a 28mm full-frame equivalent field of view and includes built-in 3:2 frame lines. There are no electronics involved, so there is no autofocus information, exposure preview or communication with the camera. It simply attaches t

Mandler’s New 50mm f/1.4 E46 Lens
credits: Mandler Chinese lens maker Mandler is back with its second Leica-inspired lens, following the 35mm f/2 it launched earlier this year. This time it is the Mandler 50mm f/1.4 E46 Pre-A, which takes its inspiration from the classic pre-aspherical Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4. And just like with its first lens, Mandler is trying to get pretty close to the character of the original Leica lens, including its bokeh, colour, contrast and even the way it handles flare, while m

The Latest Canon Macro Lens Rumours
credits: Canon Canon’s next RF macro lens might not be the long-awaited successor to the EF 180mm f/3.5L USM Macro after all. Instead, the latest rumours point toward a much smaller RF 90mm f/2.8 IS STM Macro, which would sit below Canon’s existing RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro. The rumoured name is important here, as there is no L designation, suggesting Canon is working on a more affordable macro instead of another high-end professional option. The lens is expected to use an

PolarPro’s Latest Lens Filters
credits: Polar Pro PolarPro has always put quite a bit of emphasis on creating effects in-camera instead of adding them later during editing, and the company’s latest filters follow that spirit. The new Radial Gradient Filters add colour directly while you are shooting, with three versions available, blue, red and orange. Each uses a radial gradient, so the centre of the photo remains relatively neutral while the colour gradually becomes stronger toward the edges. How strong

Gemini Gets Lightroom And Photoshop
credits: Adobe Adobe is continuing to put its editing tools into AI chatbots, and Google Gemini is the latest platform to get them. The new Adobe integration brings tools from Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Express and Firefly directly into Gemini, meaning you can ask for edits through a normal conversation rather than opening the individual Adobe apps. It follows similar integrations Adobe has already introduced for ChatGPT, Claude, Slack and Microsoft Copilot, and gives Adobe
