A New Adobe Lightroom Competitor
credits: Blackmagic Design Adobe Lightroom is getting an unexpected new competitor, and it is coming from Blackmagic Design. With the latest update, DaVinci Resolve 21 is adding a dedicated Photo page, bringing a full set of still image editing tools into software that has traditionally been focused on video editing and colour grading. The main difference here is that Resolve is bringing its node-based grading system over to still images. Instead of stacking edits in layers l

Voigtländer’s New APO-Skopar 75mm f/2.8 Lens
credits: Cosina Less than two months after introducing the Nokton Vintage Line 75mm f/1.5, Cosina has announced another 75mm option for Leica M-mount users, this time going in a very different direction. The new Voigtländer APO-Skopar 75mm f/2.8 is built around a much more compact design, measuring 44mm in length and weighing 191 grams. That makes it closer in size to a typical 50mm lens, and the narrow 54mm barrel is designed so it does not block the rangefinder frame lines,

Viltrox Is Teasing New Gear
credits: Viltrox Viltrox is teasing a pretty wide range of new gear ahead of NAB Show 2026, taking place April 18–22. One of the main highlights is the next step for its EVO series, including new APO lenses that are expected to be officially announced during the show. These are meant to improve optical performance while still keeping things practical for both photo and video work. Another big focus is the L-mount lineup, which Viltrox has been building up more seriously latel

Westcott’s New S18 Mini Flash
credits: Westsott Westcott has announced the S18 Mini, a compact and basic on-camera flash. It delivers 18Ws of output with a guide number of 16 at ISO 100, which puts it a bit above what you would get from a built-in flash, but still well below a full-size speed-light. It uses a single-pin hot shoe, so it will work across different camera brands, but there is no TTL or any kind of automatic exposure control. Everything here is manual. Power can be adjusted across 19 steps ov

Meike’s New AF 56mm f/1.7 Air Lens
credits: Meike Meike has announced a new AF 56mm f/1.7 Air lens for APS-C Sony E-mount cameras, adding another lightweight option to its lineup. On APS-C, that 56mm works out to roughly an 85mm equivalent, so it sits right in that classic short telephoto range that is often used for portraits. Looking at the specs, the lens uses an 11-element, 7-group optical design and has a 9-blade aperture, which should help with smoother background rendering. The aperture runs from f/1.7

The Latest Panasonic Rumours
credits: Panasonic New Panasonic rumours are starting to circulate, with updates expected across both full-frame and Micro Four Thirds systems. On the full-frame side, the LUMIX S9 II is said to stick with its compact, lightweight design but fix some of the main complaints about the original. The addition of a hot shoe is a big one, along with improvements to the overall build, which should feel more solid and less “plastic” this time around. The LUMIX S5 III is expected to m

The Latest Sony A7R VI Rumours
New Sony A7R VI rumours and leaks just dropped, and there is quite a bit to go through. The camera is still said to be in limited testing, with a release expected sometime around June 2026, likely coming before the next Alpha 7S model. The biggest talking point is a new 67-megapixel partially stacked sensor, although some reports also mention an 80MP fully stacked version, which suggests Sony might still be deciding on the final setup. Readout speeds are rumoured to hit 60fps

TTArtisan’s New AF 17mm f/1.8 Air Lens
credits: TTArtisan TTArtisan has announced the AF 17mm f/1.8 Air, a compact APS-C wide-angle prime that focuses on keeping size and weight down while still offering autofocus. The lens weighs 161 grams and has a full metal body. It is designed around a 17mm focal length, equivalent to roughly 25mm on full-frame systems, with an 81-degree angle of view. On the inside, it uses a 14-element, 10-group design, which is actually pretty complex for something this small. That kind of

Eizo’s New Monitor For Photographers
credits: Eizo Eizo has announced the ColorEdge CS3200X, a new 31.5-inch 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) monitor for photographers who need consistent, accurate colour for editing and print work. It is the largest model in the current CS Series lineup, and the main difference here is simply the extra space. Compared to smaller displays, it gives you more room to work with high-resolution files while still keeping your tools visible. The monitor covers 99% of Adobe RGB, which is good news

Is Micro Four Thirds Coming Back?
credits: OM System The Micro Four Thirds system has had a pretty turbulent few years. Olympus stepped away from the camera business, Panasonic shifted a lot of its attention to full-frame, and for a while it felt like MFT was slowly fading out. But recently, both OM Digital Solutions and Panasonic have started sounding a bit more optimistic again, and this time there are some more concrete signs behind it. One of the bigger changes is that OM System CEO Shigemi Sugimoto is no

Brightin Star’s 11mm f/2.8 II Lens Is Here
credits: Brightin Star Brightin Star has officially announced the MF 11mm f/2.8 II, a follow-up to its ultra-wide prime that keeps the same extreme field of view but updates both the design and optics. The lens delivers a 182-degree angle of view, which puts it among the widest options you can get for full-frame cameras. That kind of coverage is really about capturing as much of a scene as possible in one frame, often with noticeable distortion, making it more suited for land

Luminar Neo Gets New Update
credits: Skylum Skylum is marking Luminar Neo’s fourth anniversary with a spring update, and version 1.27 brings a handful of new AI tools, mostly focused on portrait editing. One of the more practical additions is in the Skin AI section, where a new blemish removal slider has been added. Instead of just toggling the effect on or off, you can now control how aggressively things like pimples or skin imperfections are removed. There is also a new slider that lets you soften not

The Latest Hasselblad Rumours
credits: Hasselblad Hasselblad had a big year in 2025, largely thanks to the success of the X2D II 100C. The camera did not just look good on paper, it picked up a lot of attention online and even managed to top sales charts in places like Japan, which is pretty unusual for a medium format system. At the same time, the long-running rumours about a mirrorless camera from DJI, Hasselblad’s parent company, are starting to pop up again. Some of those ideas range from a medium for

Canon Expands Third-Party RF Collaboration
credits: Canon Canon once again addressed the long-running question of third-party RF lenses, this time with a more direct message than before. Speaking in a recent interview with Phototrend, Go Tokura, Executive Vice President and head of Canon’s imaging division, confirmed that collaboration with third-party lens manufacturers will intensify. That is a stronger statement than what Canon has said in the past, especially given how cautious the company has been around opening

SmallRig’s New Fujifilm X-E5 Accessories
credits: SmallRig The Fujifilm X-E5 is already a pretty beautiful camera, arguably one of the best-looking new models released last year, and SmallRig wants to make it even more stylish and functional with a new wooden grip and Arca-Swiss tripod plate attachment. The new grip mount plate comes in black or silver metal finishes to match the camera body, paired with either an ebony or rosewood wooden grip. It also includes a set of matching accessories, like a wooden shutter re

LensBaby’s New Twist 28 Lens
credits: LensBaby LensBaby has officially announced the Twist 28, a manual focus 28mm lens with a fixed f/3.5 aperture, built into a small pancake-style body. The feature that makes this lens a bit more special is its Petzval-style rendering, where the centre of the photo stays relatively sharp while the outer areas fall off into that characteristic swirling blur instead of a smooth, even background. On the technical side, the lens uses a fairly simple four-element optical de

Brightin Star Teases New Lens
credits: Brightin Star Brightin Star is teasing a new lens, and the company is calling it a “new chapter of ultra-wide.” The teaser points to the upcoming Brightin Star MF 11mm f/2.8 II, a follow-up to its existing fisheye lens. As usual with early teasers, details are pretty limited, but the company is obviously trying to build some anticipation with a slightly cryptic message about what the lens “sees” and “how it feels.” Reading between the lines, there are a few things th

PolarPro’s New Goldstache Filter
credits: PolarPro PolarPro’s new Goldstache filter is here, combining a circular polariser with a low-strength diffusion effect, all in a single piece of glass. It is essentially trying to balance two things that usually work against each other. Diffusion filters soften a photo and lower contrast, while a polariser typically increases contrast and controls reflections. In terms of construction, the filter relies on a 1/4 strength diffusion layer, which is on the lighter side

Thypoch Announced An AI Camera?
credits: Thypoch As expected, April Fools’ Day brought the usual wave of jokes across the photo industry, from things like ISO 0 film to weightless camera bags and gimmicky film rolls. But one “announcement” stood out a bit more than the rest. Thypoch shared a concept camera that, even with the timing, does not feel like a typical throwaway joke. Yes, it was posted on April 1 and tagged as such, but compared to most of the other pranks, this one feels a lot more believable. E

The Latest Sony A7R VI Rumours
credits: Sony New leaks and rumours about Sony’s upcoming A7R VI are starting to surface. According to multiple sources, the camera will feature a 67-megapixel sensor, along with a completely redesigned body. If that resolution number is accurate, it would be a fairly small step up from the 61 megapixels in the A7R V, which came out in late 2022. There is also an unverified spec list going around that adds a bit more detail. It suggests the camera could use a stacked Exmor RS
