Hasselblad x Capture One
credits: Hasselblad/Capture One Hasselblad and Capture One have officially announced a partnership, finally bringing native Hasselblad RAW support to the software after years of requests from photographers. Starting with Capture One 16.8.3, you can now import, organise, and edit Hasselblad .3FR RAW files directly inside Capture One. Until now, Hasselblad photographers often had to rely on file conversions or other workarounds, which could reduce image quality and limit editin

Sirui Is Teasing Three New Lenses
credits: Sirui Sirui is teasing three new lenses ahead of an official launch on July 6, expanding its VP-1 lineup with a 15mm T1.6, 75mm T1.4, and 150mm T4 Macro. While the launch date is new, the lenses themselves are not exactly a complete surprise. Sirui first showed them at NAB 2026 back in April, and pre-orders for the new three-lens set are already open. With these additions, the VP-1 series grows to six full-frame primes, joining the existing 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm T1.4

Reflx Lab’s New Experimental Film
credits: Reflex Lab Reflx Lab has introduced Diablo 100, a new experimental redscale colour film based on Lucky C200 film stock. Like other redscale films, Diablo 100 is created by loading the film backward, allowing light to pass through the transparent base before reaching the light-sensitive emulsion. This changes the way the film records colour, producing photos dominated by deep reds, oranges, and warm yellow tones instead of the more natural colours you would normally g

The optical designs described in the application cover a focal length range of approximately 51.5-130.9mm with an aperture of around f/2.88, which closely matches what would become a 50-130mm f/2.8 lens if it ever make

The Latest Sony RX10 V Rumours
credits: Sony Fresh rumours suggest Sony is preparing to announce the long-awaited RX10 V, with multiple sources now pointing to an early July 2026 unveiling. If the reports are accurate, it would be the first update to Sony’s bridge camera lineup since the RX10 IV launched back in 2017. So far, leaked specifications remain fairly limited, but most reports describe the RX10 V as a modest refresh rather than a major upgrade. The camera is expected to keep the familiar 20.1MP 1

Praktica’s New 35mm Film Camera
credits: Praktica Photographers in 2026 have more reusable 35mm film cameras to choose from than they have had in years. Cameras like the Pure35, Lomography’s lineup, and Dubble Film’s SHOW camera have all helped bring film photography back into the spotlight. Now another familiar name has entered the mix with the launch of the Praktica VF212. While the Praktica name will be familiar to many longtime photographers, this new camera has unfortunately very little in common with

Godox’s New EazyFlow Beauty Dish

Pressing a second button collapses it back down into a slim profile that (according to G

The Latest Leica Rumours
Leaked photo Leica is expected to announce a new photography focused SL3-P camera and two new SL lenses on June 25, and a fresh round of leaks has provided a clearer picture of what may be on the way. According to rumours, the SL3-P will use a 44.3-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor with dual-resolution technology, based on the sensor found in the Panasonic S1R II. The camera is said to deliver the fastest sensor readout of any Leica model so far, reportedly 156% faster than the SL3-S

NiSi’s New 16mm f/2.8 Ultra Wide Lens
credits: NiSi NiSi’s new 16mm f/2.8 Ultra-Wide-Angle lens for Fujifilm GFX and Hasselblad XCD systems is here. With a 35mm-equivalent focal length of roughly 12.6mm and a wide 118-degree diagonal field of view, it joins a fairly small group of ultra-wide medium format lenses. While it is not quite the widest non-fisheye option available, that title still belongs to Laowa’s 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D, the NiSi does stand out by offering a much faster f/2.8 aperture, making it one of th

Wahei Optical’s New Peace 35mm f/1.4 Lens
credits: Wahei Optical Wahei Optical has announced the Peace 35mm f/1.4, a new M-mount lens that takes clear inspiration from classic Leica designs. Vintage-style lenses have become increasingly common in recent years, but the Peace 35mm f/1.4 specifically draws from the famous Leica 35mm f/1.4 Steel Rim, which first appeared in 1961. According to Wahei Optical, the goal was not to create a lens that gives you maximum sharpness or perfectly uniform image quality, but rather o

Sony a9 III Gets Full-Power Profoto Flash
credits: Profoto The Sony a9 III’s 24-megapixel global shutter sensor already offers some unique advantages for photographers, from blackout-free shooting to very fast burst rates. One of its most interesting features, though, is the ability to synchronise flash at virtually any shutter speed. Thanks to a new firmware update from Profoto, that capability has now become much more useful for photographers who rely on studio and location lighting. Profoto released firmware updat
