OM System’s Updated 14-42mm Kit Lens
credits: OM System Alongside the new OM System PEN, which we looked at in yesterday’s magazine issue, OM Digital Solutions has introduced the M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 III, a refreshed version of its small standard kit zoom. The lens covers 14-42mm, or 28-84mm equivalent on Micro Four Thirds, making it an straightforward zoom for everything from wider street photos to tighter portraits. The biggest change from the previous 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II is not the optics, thoug

Another Canon EOS R8 Mark II Leak
credits: Canon Tomorrow is the big day, but a major new leak is giving us a much closer early look at the Canon EOS R8 Mark II before its official announcement. One of the latest details is improved weather resistance, with Canon reportedly describing the camera internally as “fully weather-sealed.” The original R8 already offered some protection against dust and moisture, but Canon itself stopped short of describing it as completely sealed, so this appears to be a meaningful

DaVinci Resolve 21.1 Is Here
credits: Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve just got another big update for photographers, with Blackmagic Design expanding the relatively new Photo page in DaVinci Resolve 21.1. The Photo page was first introduced in April before officially launching in June, and this latest update adds native photo support for several more camera systems. That includes Fujifilm GFX and X-series cameras, Leica SL cameras, and the Sony a7R VI, meaning their files can now be opened and edited d

The End Of The Pentax K-Series Era?
credits: Pentax Ricoh Imaging has officially discontinued all of its current Pentax K-series DSLRs, bringing the current chapter of Pentax digital SLR cameras to an end. This is not exactly unexpected. The Pentax KF was discontinued earlier this year, followed by the full-frame K-1 Mark II just last week, leaving Pentax without a current DSLR in production. Ricoh has now confirmed that this is part of a wider transition and fortunately not the end of Pentax DSLRs altogether.

Major Canon EOS R8 Mark II Leak
leaked photos A major Canon EOS R8 Mark II leak has given us what looks like the most complete specification list yet, just days before the camera’s expected announcement. Canon is reportedly sticking with the familiar 24MP full-frame sensor from the EOS R6 Mark II, with a native ISO range of 100–102,400. The camera is expected to use Dual Pixel AF II with Deep Learning AI, including updated animal tracking, while a new rear joystick should make AF-point control considerably

Sigma’s New 85mm f/1.2 DG Art Lens
credits: Sigma The long promised Sigma 85mm f/1.2 DG Art is finally here, giving Sigma its longest f/1.2 prime lens yet. The new 85mm joins the 35mm f/1.2 DG Art II and 50mm f/1.2 DG Art, completing Sigma’s current trio of ultra-fast wide, standard and medium-telephoto primes. As you would expect, this one is meant for portrait photography, combining the f/1.2 maximum aperture with a rounded 13-blade diaphragm for very shallow depth of field. Inside, Sigma uses SLD glass to c

Sigma’s Redesigned Lens Filters
credits: Sigma Four newly redesigned Sigma lens filters are coming this November, with the company updating both their optical design and filter frames to reduce their impact on photo quality. The lineup includes the WR Ceramic Protector PTC-21, WR Protector + UV PUV-21, standard Protector LPT-21, and WR Circular PL Filter CPL-21. The Ceramic Protector is designed mainly around impact resistance, while the PUV-21 combines UV protection with a water- and oil-repellent coating.

Sony’s New 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens
credits: Sony Sony has announced the FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G, its first fisheye lens for E-mount and its first full-frame fisheye in about 20 years. Sony’s last first-party option was the 16mm f/2.8 for A-mount back in 2006, itself based on a Minolta design, so this has been a pretty big gap in the E-mount lineup. The new lens is also a little different from the usual fixed-focal-length fisheye. It has a 180-degree angle of view throughout the zoom range, transitioning from

Adobe Camera Raw 18.6 Is Here
credits: Adobe Adobe Camera Raw 18.6 is here, and the headline addition this time is a new Glow tool that brings three analog-inspired effects directly into ACR, Diffusion, Bloom, and Halation. You will find it in the Effects panel alongside Grain and Vignette. Diffusion gives your photo a softer, hazier look similar to shooting through a Black Mist or Pro-Mist filter, while Bloom concentrates that softer glow more around highlights. Halation ,on the other hand, adds the warm

The Latest OM PEN Rumours
credits: OM System We are now just one day away from the official OM PEN announcement, and one of the last big pieces of information may have just leaked, the price. According to numerous sources, the new Micro Four Thirds camera will cost around $1,265 for the body, which is a noticeable step up from the Olympus E-P7, which can currently be found for around $900, but the OM PEN is expected to add two pretty important things the E-P7 did not have, a built-in electronic viewfi

Leica’s New Summicron-M 66mm f/2 Lens
credits: Leica Leica has announced the Summicron-M 66mm f/2, a modern reinterpretation of the Elcan 66mm f/2, a lens designed by Dr. Walter Mandler at Ernst Leitz Canada in the late 1960s for the U.S. Navy. Only around 200 originals were produced, and they were built for covert reconnaissance work where getting as much fine detail as possible from a relatively small lens was the priority. For the new version, Leica has kept the basic optics and mechanics of the original but u

The Latest Canon EOS R8 Mark II Rumours
credits: Canon With just over a week to go before the expected announcement, we are getting a much clearer idea of what to expect from the Canon EOS R8 Mark II. A new list of rumoured specifications largely backs up what we have heard over the past few weeks, but there are a few surprises mixed in. Canon is reportedly sticking with the familiar 24MP full-frame sensor from the EOS R6 Mark II, paired with a fully electronic shutter capable of 40 fps and a maximum shutter speed

Nikon’s Coolpix P1100 Gets First Firmware Update
credits: Nikon Nikon has released the first firmware update for the Coolpix P1100, bringing the camera from version 1.0 to firmware 1.1. It is a pretty small update, with no new features this time around, but it fixes two bugs that could actually show up during normal shooting. The more important one involves continuous shooting. In some situations, the P1100 could stop responding when the zoom was adjusted while shooting a burst. That is a particularly relevant fix for this

The Latest Canon PowerShot Rumours
credits: Canon Canon’s PowerShot comeback is continuing to take shape, and the company’s upcoming high-end compact apparently won’t be the G7 X Mark IV many people were expecting. According to the latest information, the new PowerShot will be a fairly significant departure from the G7 X Mark III and not a straightforward successor. That lines up with an earlier source who described the camera as “nothing like previous G series cameras.” There have been some conflicting rumour

Samyang’s New 60-180mm f/2.8 For L-Mount
credits: Samyang Samyang has been part of the L-Mount Alliance since 2023, but so far the company has not exactly flooded the system with lenses. That is slowly starting to change, though, and the latest addition is the Samyang AF 60-180mm f/2.8 L, a full-frame telephoto zoom developed together with Schneider-Kreuznach. It keeps a constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the entire 60-180mm range, while weighing 727.8g without the caps and hood. That is considerably lighter than th

OM System’s Upcoming OM PEN Camera
credits: OM System OM System’s upcoming camera will reportedly be called simply the “OM PEN,” and thanks to a huge stream of leaks, we now have a very good idea of what to expect. OM System has already confirmed that a new camera will be unveiled on September 9, 2026, and according to the latest information, the company is dropping the familiar PEN-F, E-P and E-PL naming altogether. Whether that means OM System plans to have just one PEN line going forward isn’t clear yet. An

Godox’s New Pixel Art Camera Light
credits: Godox Godox has announced a pretty wacky new accessory called the LT1 Creative Pixel Light, a small customisable light that can sit right on top of a camera. Rather than working like a normal LED light, the LT1 is made up of a grid of individually controllable pixels, with each pixel able to display different colours and brightness levels. That means you can create little pixel-art designs, logos, words, numbers, smiley faces, hearts and other graphics, including ani

DxO’s PhotoLab 10 Is Here
credits: DxO DxO’s new PhotoLab 10 is here, and this time the update is focused on AI masking, local adjustments, and a tighter editing workflow. One of the biggest additions is the new Depth Mask, which creates a depth map and lets you isolate different distances within a photo using a slider. You can keep the selected depth range very narrow or extend it across a much larger part, with feathering available to soften the transition. AI handles the initial depth detection, bu

The Latest Canon Rumours
credits: Canon Retro, yet not quite retro, or perhaps a “retro sibling” instead? The story around the Canon EOS R8 Mark II is getting a little more complicated. For months, rumours suggested Canon could finally launch a proper retro-style mirrorless camera in 2026, potentially inspired by the Canon AE-1, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Early reports even referred to a possible EOS RE-1, but by April, sources were instead pointing toward the upcoming R8 Mark I

7Artisans’ Upcoming AF 18mm f/2 Lens
credits: 7Artisans In addition to the new AF 10mm f/2.5 MAX full-frame fisheye, which we looked at in last week’s Sunday magazine issue, 7Artisans has also announced an upcoming AF 18mm f/2 wide-angle lens for APS-C cameras. For now, the lens has been shown for Sony E-mount, where its 18mm focal length gives a roughly 27mm full-frame equivalent field of view. It is part of 7Artisans’ lightweight “LITE” series, so the lens weighs only around 109g and measures approximately 64m
