Brightin Star’s New Silver X-Slim 28mm f/2.8 Lens
credits: Brightin Star Brightin Star’s X-Slim 28mm f/2.8 Pancake Lens for Leica M Mount was originally launched in black in 2023, and now it is available in a new “Liquid Silver” finish. Underneath the new finish, it is the same tiny full-frame manual-focus lens as before. From the lens mount, it sticks out by just 9.9mm, while the complete lens measures 21.5mm long because part of the optical construction extends back into the mount. Weight comes in at 125g. Inside, the 28mm

Adaptalux’s New Pod Mini 2.0.
credits: Adaptalux’s Adaptalux has added a smaller controller to its macro photography lighting system with the new Pod Mini 2.0. It is essentially the little brother to the company’s larger Control Pod 3.0 and acts as the connection point between Adaptalux’s different Lighting Arms and the rest of the system. Where the Control Pod has five lighting ports, the Pod Mini 2.0 has a single port, along with physical controls for brightness and power. It also has Bluetooth built in

Cosina’s New Voigtländer Lenses
credits: Cosina Cosina has officially announced silver versions of two of its Voigtländer lenses for Fujifilm X Mount, the Nokton 23mm f/1.2 Aspherical and Nokton 35mm f/1.2. These are not new optical designs, the black versions originally arrived in 2022 and 2021, but they are the first additions to Voigtländer’s Fujifilm lineup since the Colour-Skopar 18mm f/2.8 in early 2024. Both are compact, fully manual-focus primes with fast f/1.2 apertures and electronic communication

Nikon Delays Nearly All Products
credits: Nikon Nikon’s upcoming product schedule may have hit a bit of a roadblock, with multiple sources now claiming that almost all of the company’s new products are facing delays. And apparently this does not just affect cameras either, new lenses and firmware updates have reportedly been pushed back as well. That is disappointing considering the past few months of rumours had been pointing toward a fairly busy autumn for Nikon. Among the cameras being discussed were a co

The Latest Pentax Rumours
credits: Pentax The long-awaited new Pentax DSLR may finally have moved beyond the planning stage, with a well-known and generally reliable internal source claiming that work on the camera is already underway. The latest information suggests the camera is no longer simply being considered and has now entered production or active development. That said, there is still some ambiguity around the original wording, as “production” could refer to actual manufacturing or simply the

Viltrox Teases Five New Lenses
credits: Viltrox Viltrox is getting ready for BIRTV 2026 in Beijing with five new lenses, and the company’s latest teaser gives us a first look of what is coming. The show runs from August 19 to 22, and the lineup appears to include one full-frame f/1.4 Pro lens, two APS-C f/1.2 Pro lenses, and two Air-series primes for L-Mount. Viltrox has not revealed focal lengths, prices, filter sizes, or even the mounts for the three Pro lenses yet, so there are still quite a few details

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

New Leica Firmware Updates
credits: Leica Leica has rolled out a new batch of firmware updates for several of its cameras, covering the SL2, SL2-S, Q3, Q3 43, Q3 Monochrom, and D-Lux 8. The biggest changes comes with Firmware 6.3.0 for the SL2 and SL2-S, which adds support for the recently introduced Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 ASPH. 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,

Adobe’s New Lightroom Updates
credits: Adobe Adobe has released a new round of updates across the Lightroom family, including Lightroom Classic, Lightroom on desktop, Lightroom for iPad, and Lightroom Mobile.

Lightroom Classic 15.5 now supports cameras such as the GoPro Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro, along with

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
