TTArtisan’s New Silver 11mm f/2.8 Fisheye

credits: TTArtisan TTArtisan has released a new silver version of its 11mm f/2.8 fisheye, expanding the existing lineup with a different finish rather than changing anything on the inside. The lens is designed for full-frame mirrorless systems like Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and L-mount, with additional versions available for DSLR mounts such as EF and F. On the technical side, the lens features an f/2.8 to f/16 aperture range and a 7-blade diaphragm, along with a minimum foc

New Patents From Canon, Sigma And Nikon

credits: Canon The patent databases are picking up again, and a few recent filings from Canon, Sigma, and Nikon give a glimpse into what might be coming next. As always, patents do not guarantee actual products, but they do show where companies are putting their focus. In Canon’s case, several new RF-S prime lens designs have surfaced, all built around compact bodies and an f/2.8 aperture. The lineup includes 10mm, 12mm, 18mm, and 28mm lenses, all for APS-C users. The 10mm f/

Thypoch Teases New AF 24-50mm f/2.8 Zoom

credits: Thypoch Thypoch, best known for its vintage-style manual focus primes like the Simera 28mm f/1.4, Eureka 50mm f/2, and Ksana 21mm f/3.5, is now moving in a completely different direction. The company has officially teased its first autofocus zoom lens, a 24–50mm f/2.8, marking a pretty significant shift for the brand. So far, Thypoch has built its reputation on manual lenses with classic optical character, so stepping into both autofocus and zoom design at the same t

The Latest Fujifilm Rumours

credits: Fujifilm Recent rumours suggest Fujifilm could be heading toward some big changes in its lineup, especially around the X-H and X-T series. One of the more interesting ideas right now is that Fujifilm might merge the X-H2 and X-H2s into a single camera, possibly called the X-H3, expected sometime in 2027. Up to now, those two models have had pretty clear roles, the X-H2s was built for speed and video with its stacked sensor, while the X-H2 focused more on resolution f

Viltrox’s New EVO Series Lenses Have Leaked

credits: Viltrox The previously reported Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.8 EVO and AF 55mm f/1.8 EVO full-frame lenses for Nikon Z and Sony E have now leaked, giving us a clearer look at how both lenses are put together. The 35mm f/1.8 EVO uses a 10-element, 8-group design, paired with a 9-blade aperture and an f/1.8 to f/16 range. It can focus as close as 0.4 meters, uses a 55mm filter thread, and weighs somewhere between 340 and 370 grams. Autofocus is handled by an STM motor and there

Sony Pulls Back From Memory Cards

credits: Sony The global shortage of solid-state memory is starting to hit the photography world in a real way, and Sony is the first major brand to take a step back. The company has announced that it is suspending orders for most of its SD and CFexpress memory cards, citing ongoing semiconductor shortages. According to a notice published by Sony Japan, the decision took effect on March 28, 2026, with both authorised dealers and direct Sony Store customers affected. The suspe

A New OM System PEN Camera?

credits: OM System OM Digital Solutions has once again talked about the future of the PEN series, this time a bit more directly than before. In recent interviews with Photolari and Phototrend, company executives confirmed that a new PEN camera is actually planned. Kazuhiro Togashi, Senior Vice President, stated clearly that while there is no specific release date yet, the company does have plans to launch a new PEN series under the OM System brand. Compared to earlier comment

Samyang’s New AF 35mm f/1.8 P FE Lens

credits: Samyang Samyang’s new AF 35mm f/1.8 P FE prime lens for Sony E-mount is here, and now that the full specs are out (it was first teased at CP+ 2026), it is clear this lens is meant to sit as a smaller, more practical alternative to the faster 35mm f/1.4. It weighs 216 grams and measures 71.5mm in length, making it noticeably more compact. With a 69.8mm diameter and a 62mm filter thread, it is also a better fit for smaller full-frame bodies like Sony’s A7C series. On t

Kodak’s New Black And White Films

credits: Kodak Eastman Kodak is continuing its recent push in film with the return of the Ektapan name, this time focused entirely on black-and-white photography. The new lineup includes ISO 100, 400, and P3200 variants, all built as continuous-tone panchromatic films. The Ektapan name itself has not been used in decades, it disappeared around 25 years ago when Kodak pushed photographers toward the T-Max series instead. What is interesting now is that these new Ektapan films

The Latest Canon RF 300-600mm Rumours

credits: Canon The long-rumoured Canon RF 300–600mm lens is making the rounds again, and at this point, it feels like it has been “almost here” for a while. The lens reportedly came up again during a recent dealer meeting, but there is still no real timeline attached to it. The wording has not changed much either, it is now being described as “coming in 2026,” which sounds a lot like last year’s “coming in 2025.” So it is clearly still in development, just not quite ready to

Panasonic’s New ZS300 Compact Camera

credits: Panasonic Panasonic’s new Lumix ZS300 camera is here. It is a follow-up to the Lumix ZS200 from 2018, and on paper it sticks very closely to what came before. The camera still combines a 15x optical zoom lens with a 20.1MP 1-inch BSI CMOS sensor inside a compact, pocket-sized body. But despite the familiar setup, there is also a notable step backward in terms of usability. At the same time, the release does bring one practical advantage, the ZS200 has been discontinu

UGreen’s New Docking Stations For Creatives

credits: UGreen UGreen has announced two new Thunderbolt 5 docking stations, the Maxidok 17-in-1 and 10-in-1. Both docks are built around Thunderbolt 5, offering up to 120Gbps data transfer speeds, which is a big jump over previous generations and meant for creatives working with large files, multiple displays, or generally higher-demand setups. The more advanced model, the Maxidok 17-in-1, includes a slot for an M.2 NVMe SSD (up to 8TB), essentially adding high-speed storage

Lightroom Now Supports Sony's New RAW Format

credits: Sony Adobe has rolled out Lightroom Classic 15.2.1, and with it comes something a lot of Sony users have been waiting for, expanded RAW support for the Sony A7 V. The update adds compatibility for compressed and compressed HQ RAW files, which Adobe says has been one of the most requested features. Lossless compressed RAW was already supported, so this update basically fills in the missing pieces. Lightroom (CC) is expected to get the same support in its next update,

The Latest Canon EOS R7 Mark II Rumours

credits: Canon New details, rumours and leaks about the upcoming Canon EOS R7 Mark II are making the rounds. At the centre is a 39MP backside-illuminated stacked CMOS APS-C sensor, which lines up closely with earlier rumours of something around 40MP. More importantly, the stacked design is expected to deliver very fast readout speeds, possibly close to (or even faster than) the EOS R5 Mark II. That would mean less rolling shutter and much better performance when shooting fast

TTArtisan’s Folding Instant Camera

credits: TTArtisan Last year at CP+ 2025, TTArtisan revealed it was working on its first camera, a retro-inspired folding Instax model. Now, the TTArtisan 203T is getting closer to release, although the way the company is handling it is a bit unusual. Alongside the update, TTArtisan shared an unboxing video that gives a better look at how the camera works and what to expect in terms of build and operation. From a technical standpoint, the 203T is fairly interesting. It featur

Thypoch’s Upcoming 24-50mm f/2.8 Lens

credits: Thypoch About a week after rumours started circulating about a Chinese manufacturer preparing its first full-frame autofocus zoom lens, it is now becoming clear who is behind it. The original rumour pointed to a company with no prior autofocus experience making a jump straight into a full-frame zoom, and that is exactly what seems to be happening here. At The Photography & Video Show in Birmingham, Digital Camera World got a look at a working prototype of the Thypoch

Songdian Is Making A MFT Camera And Lens

Just over a month after joining the Micro Four Thirds system, Shenzhen Sonida Digital Technology Co. Ltd. (the company behind Songdian cameras) is already hinting at what might come next. Sonida is mostly known for its ultra-budget compact cameras, many of which are inspired by the look of more popular models. The lineup includes everything from X100-style compacts to action cams and instant cameras, often at very low prices. The overall reputation has not exactly been stella

Viltrox’s New Vintage Z2 Folding Flash

credits: Viltrox Viltrox has introduced the Vintage Z2 TTL on-camera flash, making it the third entry in the retro-style series after the Z1 and Z3 from last year. The Z2 weighs 52 grams, and the foldable design lets the flash head sit a bit higher above the camera when in use to help reduce shadows, then fold down when you are packing it away. It also has a built-in rechargeable battery that charges via USB-C. The flash supports both TTL and manual control, and it is being r

Viltrox Teases New Evo Series Lenses

credits: Viltrox Viltrox has been teasing a couple of new lenses at The Photography and Video Show in Birmingham, including two upcoming Evo Series primes, an AF 35mm f/1.8 and an AF 55mm f/1.8. The company has had a busy stretch lately, coming off CP+ 2026 in Japan and WPPI in Las Vegas, and while it did not have a dedicated booth at CP+, it was still quietly showing off some of these upcoming products. Now in Birmingham, the lenses are being shown publicly, giving a slightl

DxO’s PhotoLab 9.6 Is Here

credits: DxO DxO’s PhotoLab 9.6 is here, bringing over the more advanced noise reduction technology the company only just introduced with PureRAW 6. This update was pretty much expected, but it is still a meaningful one, mainly because it expands support to a much wider range of cameras. Alongside that, DxO is adding new edge-softening controls for its AI masking tools, plus a compressed DNG export option. The biggest change is that DeepPrime XD3 now works with Bayer sensors,
