credits: Fujifilm Fujifilm’s long-rumoured XF 400mm telephoto lens now looks to be almost certain.

Fujifilm has been expected to launch two new lenses with the X-T6 for quite some time. One is almost certainly the XF 50-140mm f/2.8 MK II, while the second was only known to be a telephoto prime.

The Latest Canon PowerShot Rumours
credits: Canon According to the latest rumours, Canon is preparing to announce a new photography-focused PowerShot in September 2026, and the most interesting claim is that the camera will feature a zoom lens with a maximum aperture wider than f/2 throughout the entire zoom range. If that proves accurate, it would be a significant step forward for a compact camera. For comparison, the PowerShot G7 X Mark III offers an f/1.8-2.8 lens, while the newer PowerShot V1 is limited to

Tamron’s 25-200mm Gets New Firmware Update
credits: Tamron Tamron has released a new firmware update for its 25-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2, and it brings a pretty unusual improvement. While lens firmware updates normally focus on things like autofocus performance or compatibility, Firmware Version 3.00 actually makes the lens much better at close-up photography at the wider end of the zoom range. With the update installed, the lens now reaches 1:2 (half-macro) magnification from 25mm to 70mm, while the 35-50mm rang

Camera Raw Now Shows Autofocus Points
credits: Adobe The latest version of Adobe Camera Raw, 18.4.1, started rolling out a few weeks ago, but it quietly introduced a feature that people have only just discovered, and they are going crazy over it. The update adds the ability to display the autofocus point that was used when a photo was taken, making it much easier to figure out whether a missed shot was caused by the camera’s autofocus system or simply by you placing the focus point in the wrong area. In Adobe Cam

Meike’s AF 85mm f/1.8 For GFX Is Here
credits: Meike/Fujifilm After a brief delay, the Meike AF 85mm f/1.8 for Fujifilm GFX is officially here, giving GFX users one of the first third-party autofocus prime lenses built specifically for the system. One of the biggest highlights is its size and weight. At 406g, it is almost half the weight of Fujifilm’s own GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR, which comes in at 795g. That is quite a noticeable difference on a medium format camera, especially when carrying the camera around all day.

credits: Lomography Lomography has announced the Simple Use Reloadable Film Camera Half Frame, a new version of its 35mm film camera that is designed to make shooting film a little more affordable.
