Instead, it is a slightly more affordable addition to the company’s lineup while still offering features such as a bright f/1.2 aperture, weather sealing, and a body made from aviation-grade aluminium. Optically, the lens uses an 18-element, 10-group optic

Panasonic’s New Retractable Macro Lens Patent
credits: Panasonic A newly published Panasonic patent suggests the company could be working on a much more compact macro lens, one that retracts when it is not in use to make it easier to carry around. The patent, P2026104790, describes a lens with a control ring that switches between three different positions. A fully retracted transport mode, a standard shooting mode, and an extended macro mode. As is always the case with patents, there is no guarantee this will ever become

The Latest Nikon Rumours
credits: Nikon Nikon could be bringing back its canceled DL compact camera series, according to a new rumour floating around the internet. The rumour is based on a single source and has not yet been confirmed in any way, so it is worth taking with a healthy dose of skepticism. If accurate, though, it would mark the return of a camera lineup that Nikon originally announced back in 2016, only to cancel before it ever reached store shelves. According to the rumour, the new camer

Adobe’s New Lightroom Classic Update
credits: Adobe Adobe has rolled out its June update for Lightroom Classic, adding several practical features meant for photographers who regularly work with large photo libraries and high-volume shoots. Funny enough, the update was actually first released around June 20, but Adobe pulled it shortly afterward after discovering a data-loss bug linked to the new Duplicates feature. Now, the company released Version 15.4.1, which fixes that issue. One of the biggest additions is

Reflx Lab’s New Experimental Film
credits: Reflex Lab Reflx Lab has introduced Diablo 100, a new experimental redscale colour film based on Lucky C200 film stock. Like other redscale films, Diablo 100 is created by loading the film backward, allowing light to pass through the transparent base before reaching the light-sensitive emulsion. This changes the way the film records colour, producing photos dominated by deep reds, oranges, and warm yellow tones instead of the more natural colours you would normally g

The Latest Sony RX10 V Rumours
credits: Sony Fresh rumours suggest Sony is preparing to announce the long-awaited RX10 V, with multiple sources now pointing to an early July 2026 unveiling.

Praktica’s New 35mm Film Camera
credits: Praktica Photographers in 2026 have more reusable 35mm film cameras to choose from than they have had in years.

While the Praktica name will be familiar to many longtime photographers, this new camera has unfortunately very little in common with
