Samyang’s Upcoming AF 35mm f/1.8 Lens
credits: Samyang At the 2026 CP+ show, Samyang unveiled a new AF 35mm f/1.8 P FE full-frame lens designed as part of its compact Prima series. The lens closely follows the design of the existing AF 85mm f/1.8 P FE and AF 16mm f/2.8 P FE, keeping the same small form factor and straightforward design. In the United States and Europe, Samyang lenses are often sold under the Rokinon name, so the lens will likely show up under both brands depending on the market. The AF 35mm f/1.8

Lomography’s New 35mm Film Camera
credits: Lomography Lomography has released a new Simple Use Reloadable Film Camera that comes preloaded with its LomoChrome Classicolor film, an ISO 200 colour film the company introduced last October. The film is designed to produce realistic colours that still feel ‘‘distinctly analog’’. According to Lomography, the stock delivers natural skin tones and warm colours that pop a bit more, while cooler tones like blues and greens stay more restrained. The camera itself looks

The Latest Leica Rumours
credits: Leica Leica appears to be preparing another addition to its SL lineup. Reports about a 44-megapixel SL camera have been circulating since late last year, and the latest rumours suggest the model will be called the Leica SL3-P. Of course, Leica naming has been known to change right before launch, something we have seen before with cameras like the M EV1, so the final name is not guaranteed yet. The “P” suffix is already familiar within Leica’s lineup. The Leica M11-P,

Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 For RF And Z Mount
credits: Cosina Voightländer Cosina Voigtländer is bringing its manual focus Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 to Canon RF and Nikon Z full-frame mirrorless cameras. The lens first appeared for Sony E-mount back in 2019, and after several years it is finally being made available for photographers using Canon and Nikon’s mirrorless systems as well. Unlike many modern Voigtländer lenses that aim for maximum sharpness and highly corrected optics, the Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 is designe

DxO PureRaw 6 Is Here
credits: DxO DxO PureRAW 6 is here, and it is still very much focused on one specific job, cleaning up your RAW files before you bring them into Lightroom, Photoshop, or DxO PhotoLab. Rather than acting like a full editing suite, PureRAW sits at the very start of the workflow. It handles demosaicing, noise reduction, lens corrections, and sensor defect compensation first, so you are working with a technically optimised file before you start making creative decisions. DxO’s ar

Sigma Is Making An 85mm f/1.2 DG Art Lens
credits: Sigma Sigma has officially announced the development of a new 85mm f/1.2 DG Art, a large-aperture medium-telephoto prime for full-frame mirrorless cameras. It joins Sigma’s growing lineup of f/1.2 lenses, including the 35mm f/1.2 DG II Art and the 50mm f/1.2 DG DN Art. With this addition, 85mm becomes the longest focal length in Sigma’s current f/1.2 series, a move that obviously targets portrait photographers who want the ultra-shallow depth of field look. Because t

A New Canon Compact Camera?
credits: Canon At CP+ 2026 in Yokohama, Canon gave one of its clearest signals yet that a new compact camera is in development. In an interview, Go Tokura, Executive Vice President and Head of Canon’s Imaging Group, said today’s compact camera buyers aren’t the same customers Canon used to serve. According to him, the next compact will need to bring “new technologies or a new use case” to the table. That is more direct than what we usually hear from Canon, which tends to stic

Schneider-Kreuznach x Samyang’s New Lens
credits: Schneider-Kreuznach x Samyang Just like they did at last year’s CP+ in Japan, Samyang and Schneider-Kreuznach used CP+ 2026 to show off another full-frame f/2.8 zoom. This time it is an AF 60–180mm f/2.8 for Sony E-mount and L-Mount. While full specifications have not been published yet, the lens was on display at the companies’ joint booth, giving visitors at least a physical look at what is coming. With this addition, the lineup now forms a slightly unusual but com

Lomography’s New Fisheye No. 2 Rodeo Denim
credits: Lomography Lomography has introduced the Fisheye No. 2 Rodeo Denim, a special 35mm film camera. The body is wrapped in denim with orange accents, but the real focus here is the 10mm fisheye lens, which delivers a full 170° field of view. That means you get circular photos with heavy barrel distortion, curved horizons, and exaggerated perspective. The lens can focus as close as 10 centimetres, ‘‘encouraging photographers to get extremely close to their subject’’ while

Brightin Star’s Upcoming 50mm Tri-Sight Lens
credits: Brightin Star Brightin Star used CP+ 2026 in Yokohama to unveil a new full-frame 50mm f/2 Tri-Sight prime lens, and the headline feature is a control ring that lets you switch between three distinct rendering modes, Smooth, Prime, and Foams. Smooth introduces a soft-focus, diffused look with lower contrast, Prime delivers a more conventional, balanced rendering, and Foams pushes the bokeh toward a brighter, bubble-like style. Like other lenses that adjust spherical a

7Artisans’ AF 40mm f/2.5 Lens Is Here
credits: 7Artisans 7Artisans’ new AF 40mm f/2.5 FE lens is here. It is a compact full-frame prime designed to stay small enough that you barely notice it on the camera. The Sony E-mount version weighs about 90 grams and measures roughly 63 by 40 millimetres, putting it in pancake-style territory. The lens uses a lightweight plastic exterior and a 46mm filter thread. Optically, it consists of seven elements arranged in six groups and uses a nine-blade diaphragm, a configuratio

Bolt Hunter For Storm Photographers
credits: Motion Horizons LLC Motion Horizons LLC has announced Bolt Hunter, a dedicated lightning trigger built specifically for storm photographers. The device is designed to do one thing well, reliably capture lightning in situations where typical triggers often fail. Instead of reacting only to sudden brightness spikes, Bolt Hunter analyses intracloud activity that can occur before visible lightning and measures the camera’s actual shutter lag, adjusting timing on the go.

Nikon’s New Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II Lens
credits: Nikon Nikon has officially announced the Nikkor Z 70–200mm f/2.8 VR S II, an updated version of one of the system’s most important zoom lenses. The company is obviously continuing its push to refresh the classic trinity of f/2.8 zooms, following last year’s 24–70mm update. This new model sheds a noticeable amount of weight, coming in at 998 grams without the tripod collar or 1,180 grams with it, roughly a 26% reduction compared to the original version. Even with the

VSCO’s Upcoming Photo Delivery App
credits: VSCO VSCO Galleries is a new photo delivery app for photographers who want a cleaner, easier to use, and more ‘professional’ way to send finished images to clients. The app launches next week during WPPI in Las Vegas. Rather than sending folders or download links, the idea is to present photos in a simple gallery format that feels more like an already finished product. There are also collaboration features built in. Clients can pass galleries along to others or uploa

Asus’ New ProArt Colour Calibration System
credits: Asus Asus is expanding its ProArt lineup with the CaliContrO MCA02, a compact 3-in-1 colorimeter for photographers and other creatives who rely on accurate colour for editing, design, or video work. The device combines colour measurement, calibration, and basic display control in a single unit. It supports software calibration across a wide range of displays (including LED, OLED, and Mini-LED panels) using ASUS’ ProArt Calibration software, which creates ICC profiles

Zeiss’ Otus ML 35mm f/1.4 Lens Is Here
credits: Zeiss Almost one year after unveiling the Otus ML 50mm f/1.4 and Otus ML 85mm f/1.4 manual focus primes, Zeiss is back with its third new Otus prime for mirrorless cameras, the Otus ML 35mm f/1.4. The new lens focuses from 0.3 meters (about one foot) to infinity and delivers a maximum magnification of 1:5.7. Optically, it is a complex design with 15 lens elements arranged in 11 groups, along with a 10-bladed aperture. Like the other Otus ML models, it uses a purely m

The Latest Canon EOS R3 Mark II Rumours
credits: Canon Unconfirmed reports about a Canon EOS R3 Mark II are making the rounds again, this time sparked by speculation tied to images from a Canon Professional Services room at the Milan Winter Olympics. A photo shared by Olympic photographer Jeff Cable showed shelf labels that some people interpreted as references to unreleased gear, specifically a possible successor to the EOS R3. Since then, the story has largely snowballed, even though there is still very little co

Sigma’s Upcoming Lenses Have Leaked
credits: Sigma Sigma’s upcoming 15mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary and 35mm f/1.4 DG II Art lenses have leaked ahead of their expected CP+ 2026 debut, with images and detailed specifications now making the rounds online. The 15mm appears to be designed specifically for APS-C mirrorless cameras, with a strong focus on keeping size and weight down. For Sony E-mount, it measures just 64.8mm long and weighs around 220 grams, which is much lighter than Sigma’s older 16mm f/1.4. The opt

Tamron’s New Tamron-Link Dongle
credits: Tamron Tamron has announced Tamron-Link, a small Bluetooth accessory that plugs into the USB-C port built into many of its newer mirrorless lenses, letting you change lens behaviour wirelessly from a phone or tablet. You can think of it as a bridge between the lens and the Tamron Lens Utility mobile app, which now finally works on iOS and iPadOS as well. At launch, the dongle supports 16 Tamron lenses for Sony E-mount, Nikon Z-mount, and some APS-C Canon RF models, w

ACR And Lightroom Compatibility Update
credits: Adobe Another compatibility update for Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, and Lightroom Classic is here, adding support for several newly announced cameras and lenses. Among the newly supported bodies are the OM System OM-3 Astro and the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome, both extremely recent announcements, and in some cases not even widely available yet. That quick turnaround means early buyers won’t have to wait long to process their RAW files properly, which has often been an iss
