TTArtisan’s New Silver AF 75mm f/2 Lens
credits: TTArtisan TTArtisan has released a new silver version of its AF 75mm f/2 for Fujifilm X-mount, giving the compact autofocus prime a finish that should pair pretty well with Fujifilm’s new silver camera bodies. The lens itself is already available for several mounts, so this is not a new optical design. On Fujifilm’s APS-C cameras, that 75mm focal length works out to roughly 112.5mm in full-frame terms. It has a 32-degree angle of view, while the aperture runs from f/

The Latest Canon EOS R8 Mark II Rumours
credits: Canon The Canon EOS R8 Mark II may be going in a slightly different direction than many of us expected, especially when it comes to the sensor. Until now, rumours had pointed toward Canon using the same 32.5MP full-frame sensor found in the EOS R6 Mark III and EOS C50. The latest insider information now suggests otherwise, with the R8 Mark II reportedly getting a 24MP full-frame CMOS sensor instead. The timing is also worth noting, as reports emerged just yesterday t

Harman’s New Phoenix 125 Colour Film
credits: Harman Harman Photo just introduced Phoenix 125, a new version of its distinctive colour film, this time with a slower ISO 125 speed. The company behind Ilford-brand photographic film first launched Phoenix 200 back in 2023 as something of an experiment before following it with Phoenix II last year. Phoenix 125 is not simply a slower version of Phoenix II, though. Harman has actually gone back to the original Phoenix 200 formula, which has since been discontinued, im

The Latest Sigma Rumours
credits: Sigma The latest Adobe Camera Raw update, version 18.5, has added support for the Sigma 85mm f/1.2 DG Art lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras. The only thing is that Sigma has not actually released the lens or even said exactly when it is coming. Sigma first announced development of the new portrait prime at CP+ in February, but has shared very little since. The fact that Adobe already has a lens profile ready is a pretty good sign that the launch is not far away,

Adobe Expands ChatGPT Integration
credits: Adobe Adobe has just announced a much bigger integration with ChatGPT, bringing more than 70 tools from across its creative software into a single Adobe plugin. This goes quite a bit further than the individual Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat integrations Adobe introduced last year. You can now access tools from Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, Illustrator, InDesign, Express, Firefly, Acrobat, Adobe Stock, and more without leaving ChatGPT. So you could upload a photo

The Latest OM System Rumours
credits: OM System OM System is apparently getting ready for a major announcement in September 2026, although what exactly the company plans to show is still up in the air. The latest information comes from a few reliable sources and follows earlier reports that OM Digital was working on a “newly developed and lightweight” camera for later this year. Right now, there are three main possibilities being discussed. A new flagship, a smaller entry-level OM camera, or a new PEN mo

Leica has also fixed a battery drain issue that could occur when Bluetooth and Remote Wakeup were enabled while the camera was switched off. Other fixes address excessive vignet

Fujifilm Delays X-T6 September Launch
credits: Fujifilm The Fujifilm X-T6 apparently won’t be arriving in early September after all. The camera was expected to make its debut during an X Summit around September 3, 2026, but multiple sources now say Fujifilm has cancelled the event and pushed back the announcement. The bigger question is when it will actually happen, as there does not seem to be a replacement date yet. Only a few weeks ago, the first week of September was looking pretty solid for the X-T6 launch,

7Artisans’ 40mm f/2.5 For L and Z-Mount
credits: 7Artisans 7Artisans’ AF 40mm f/2.5 full-frame prime lens for Nikon Z and L-Mount is here, just after the lens was first launched for Sony E-mount a few months ago. The new versions are almost identical to the original, with only small design changes to accommodate the different mounts. Measuring around 40mm in length and weighing roughly 90g, it remains one of the smallest autofocus full-frame prime lenses available. On the inside, the lens uses a 7-element, 6-group

Light Lens Lab’s New 35mm f/2 Apochromatic
credits: Light Lens Lab Light Lens Lab has officially unveiled the new 35mm f/2 Apochromatic, marking a relatively big change for a company that has built its reputation recreating classic lenses. Rather than reimagining a vintage design, this is Light Lens Lab’s first completely original lens, developed as part of its new High-Performance Optical Research Project and the first model in a planned High Performance Series. Designed for Leica M-Mount, the manual-focus lens tries

Skylum’s New Luminar Update
credits: Skylum Skylum’s first part of a major update for Luminar is here, bringing a redesigned interface, better performance, and a number of upgraded AI-powered editing tools. One of the biggest additions is improved generative AI, which can now create new elements that blend more naturally into your original photo. The update also makes the app easier to navigate by combining the Catalog and Edit workspaces into one, so there is no longer any need to switch between separa

Godox Adds Full RGB LiteMons
credits: Godox Godox’s well-known LiteMons series just gained three new full-colour additions, the LE200R, LE300R, and LE600R. While the original LiteMons models were bi-colour lights, the new versions add full RGB capabilities, allowing you to create coloured lighting effects directly from the fixture. All three lights cover a 1,800K to 10,000K colour temperature range and support HSI, RGBW, Gel, and FX modes, with 14 built-in lighting effects including lightning, thundersto

Sony’s New FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS Lens
credits: Sony Sony has announced the new FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS, giving E-mount photographers a more ‘affordable’ way to reach the popular 100-400mm focal range. While it sits below Sony’s premium telephoto lineup and does not carry the G or G Master badge, it still brings several newer technologies to the table, including dual linear autofocus motors and support for continuous shooting at up to 120fps on compatible Sony cameras. Naturally, keeping the price down means a fe

The Latest Nikon Z7 III Rumours
credits: Nikon Fresh rumours suggest Nikon may not have given up on the Z7 series after all. While many photographers had started to question whether a Nikon Z7 III would ever arrive, a new report claims the camera is indeed in development. According to a source with a mixed but sometimes accurate track record, Nikon is working on a successor to the Z7 II that could feature a sensor with a resolution somewhere between 56 and 61 megapixels. As always with early rumours, it is

Canon’s New Lens Patent
credits: Canon Canon’s newest lens patent is an interesting one. It outlines a three-group optical design that Canon says could deliver faster autofocus while also helping reduce the size and weight of future lenses. It is another sign of the direction Canon has been taking throughout the RF era, where the company has consistently worked on making fast-aperture lenses smaller without sacrificing image quality or autofocus performance. The basic idea is actually pretty simple.

Pergear’s New 50mm f/1.4 Lens
credits: Pergear Pergear’s new 50mm f/1.4 manual focus lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras is here, offering a compact, all-metal option for Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and L-Mount users. Measuring just 66mm in diameter and 43.5mm in length, the lens weighs approximately 255g, making it one of the more compact full-frame 50mm f/1.4 lenses available. The lens features a traditional manual-focus design with a dedicated focus ring, a clicked aperture ring, and a built-in depth

Panasonic Lenses Get Custom Focus Ring
credits: Panasonic Panasonic has released a new Firmware Version 2.0 update for four of its Lumix S lenses, bringing a small but useful change for photographers using the latest Lumix S cameras. The update is available for the Lumix S 14-28mm f/4-5.6 Macro, S 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3, S 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Macro OIS, and S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Macro OIS. Rather than improving image quality or autofocus performance, Panasonic is changing how the focus ring can be used. With the new firmwa

Sony Is Trying to Buy Tamron?
Sony has reportedly made a major offer to acquire Tamron, one of Japan’s largest lens manufacturers and the company behind more than 20 lenses for Sony’s E-mount mirrorless system. According to an exclusive report from Japanese publication Diamond, Sony Group has offered 200 billion yen to buy Tamron outright. At current exchange rates, that is roughly $1.2 billion USD. From Sony’s perspective, there are plenty of reasons why the deal would make sense. Tamron has become one o

7Artisans’ Upcoming Fisheye Lens
The 7Artisans AF 10mm f/2.5 MAX was originally expected to launch on July 28, but despite that date coming and going, the company has yet to officially announce the lens. While there has been no explanation for the delay, several leaks have surfaced over the past couple days, giving us a fairly good idea of what to expect once it finally arrives. The upcoming lens is expected to be a full-frame autofocus fisheye with an ultra-wide 10mm focal length and a bright f/2.5 maximum
