credits: Leica Leica photographers are finally getting proper tethering support in Lightroom Classic. With version 15.0, both the Leica SL3 and Q3 now work natively with Lightroom, no extra plugins or tools needed. Leica and Adobe apparently teamed up to make this happen, and it is the first time Leica cameras have been directly built into Adobe’s workflow like this. The update goes beyond basic tethering as well, you now get real-time live view, autofocus point selection, an

The Complete Beginner's Guide to Street Photography in 2025: Capture Real Life Like a Pro Hey folks, imagine strolling down a bustling city sidewalk, your camera slung over your shoulder, and suddenly—click—you freeze a moment that's pure gold. A street vendor haggling with a customer, kids chasing pigeons, or that perfect reflection in a rain puddle. Street photography  is all about those unscripted slices of life, and in 2025, it's easier than ever to jump in. Why Street Ph

The list includes a Sony 100-400mm f/4 GM, a lighter 100-400mm G version with a variable aperture, and that mysterious wide-angle f/2 zoom. These lenses are apparently still in the testing phase, so they are not expected to be announced just yet. However, SonyAlphaRumors reports that the

The biggest change is an in-camera Film Grain effect that gives photos and videos a textured, analog-style look. Users can adjust the grain across three different sizes and six intensity levels, making it easy to fine-tune how strong or subtle the effect appears. The feature can also be paired with Nikon’s Image Recipes, downloadable profiles tha

Solarization (also known as the Sabattier effect) happens when you partly expose a developing photo or film to light, then continue developing it. Instead of ruining the image completely (which exposure to light normally does), it reverses the tones in certain areas → blacks turn silvery, highlights go darker, and you get glowing outlines around s

credits: Canon The launch of the Canon EOS R6 Mark III is getting closer, and more details are starting to surface. According to the latest information, Canon is still on track to officially announce the new camera on November 6, 2025, with availability expected around November 20, 2025. Several key specs have now been confirmed multiple times, including a 32-megapixel sensor (likely borrowed from the EOS C50), 6.5-stop in-body stabilisation, open-gate 7K RAW video (3:2), and

credits: Viltrox After a busy few weeks that saw the release of the Viltrox 50mm f/1.4 Pro and AF 85mm f/2 Evo, the Chinese lens maker decided to take things online with an ‘Ask Me Anything’ (AMA) on Reddit. The session gave people a rare chance to ask direct questions about Viltrox’s current lineup and future plans and the company actually shared some interesting details about what is coming next. When asked about the possibility of zoom or macro lenses, Viltrox confirmed th

credits: Pixii French camera company Pixii is teasing a brand-new camera, and it looks like this one might be a real departure from what we have seen before. Up until now, all of Pixii’s cameras (the Pixii, Pixii+, and Pixii Max) have stuck to roughly the same minimalist, rangefinder-style design. The Max, released last year, was the company’s first full-frame model and used a 24-megapixel sensor that earned a lot of praise. Even before that, the 2023 APS-C version of the ori

The update brings smarter AI masking and selection tools that better detect subjects and backgrounds, producing cleaner edges with less manual tweaking. RAW processing has also been refined for more accurate colour handling and improved overall image quality. A new Double Exposure filter join

credits: Leica Leica has officially unveiled the M EV1, the company’s first M-series camera with a built-in electronic viewfinder, a major shift for a lineup that has relied on optical rangefinders for more than 70 years. Leica says the new model marks a “significant milestone” for the brand, aiming to combine everything people love about the M lineup with the modern benefits of an EVF. The 5.76-million-dot OLED viewfinder offers 0.76x magnification and gives you live exposur

True to the brand’s analog spirit, the MC-A is designed as a fully manual film camera with modern touches, including autofocus and a USB-C rechargeable battery. The body is made of metal and comes in black or silver. Lomography calls it “unapologetically analog,” and says the multi-coated 32mm f/2.8 lens delivers that distinct, charact

The line of light on the floor is probably the most interesting part + it is what makes this shot unique —> it works almost like a secret leading line, you notice it first, follow i

The lens, first teased back in September, is the follow-up to the 28–200mm f/2.8–5.6 Di III RXD and brings a few key changes, most notably a wider 25mm starting point while keeping the same aperture range. That extra bit of width might not sound like much on paper, but it makes the lens more versatile for travel or general e

There are also signs that a Z-mount version might be on the way. The lens uses an optical design of 11 elements in 9 groups, including three high-refractive index elements and one low-dispersion element to help control colour fringing. It uses an eight-blade aperture, which should give backgrounds a nice round

The clip doesn’t give too much away, but it does show the outlines of what looks like the X-T30 III along with a new XC 13–33mm f/3.5–6.3 OIS kit lens. Both are expected to be officially unveiled on October 23, though it is not clear yet if Fujifilm plans to hold a livestream for the reveal. The teaser at least c

credits: Leicarumors According to current rumours, Leica is preparing to announce the long-anticipated M EV1 on October 23, marking a major shift for the M lineup, the company’s first model to drop the traditional rangefinder entirely in favour of an electronic viewfinder. It is a significant move for Leica, given that the rangefinder has been central to the M system for over 70 years. The name has been the subject of speculation for months, with earlier leaks suggesting “M-V

credits: Canon What Is Time Stacking Photography? Time stacking is what happens when you take a bunch of photos of the same scene over a period of time and then combine them later into one single image. Instead of just one single moment, you get a picture that shows movement/change. It is very similar to long exposure, however instead of leaving your shutter open for a few minutes or hours, you take hundreds of quick shots and “stack” them together afterward. How It Works Thi

credits: Viltrox Viltrox has kicked off a new series of fast and affordable full-frame prime lenses called Evo, starting with the AF 85mm f/2 Evo for Sony E-mount cameras. The company describes the new lens as a reimagining of the classic portrait focal length. Inside, it features 10 elements in 8 groups, including two extra-low dispersion and two high-refractive index elements to reduce chromatic aberration and maintain sharpness across the frame. The nine-blade aperture and

It is the same lens as the original black version, just with a fresh silver finish that pairs nicely with retro-style mirrorless bodies. The 75mm focal length has long been a favourite for portraits, offering flattering compression and natural perspective, and with an f/2 aperture, it is capable of nice subject separation. Insi
