Canon’s Retro Cam May Arrive As The EOS R8 Mark II
credits: Canon Canon’s long-rumoured retro camera might not end up being a standalone model after all. Instead, it now looks like it could show up as the EOS R8 Mark II. For years, people expected something like an “EOS RE-1” to celebrate the AE-1’s 50th anniversary, but it seems Canon is going in a slightly different direction. Rather than creating a completely separate line, the company may be folding that retro idea into an existing series. According to the latest reports,

7Artisans’ Upcoming 135mm f/1.8 Lens
credits: 7Artisans Last month, 7Artisans started teasing a new lens, and now the company has begun sharing more concrete details about its upcoming AF 135mm f/1.8. The lens will be available for Sony E, Nikon Z, and L-mount, and is positioned as a full-frame telephoto prime in a familiar portrait and short telephoto range, paired with a fast f/1.8 aperture. The company still has not revealed everything, but there is enough information now to get a clearer picture of what it i

Panasonic’s New Lumix S 40mm f/2 Lens
credits: Panasonic Panasonic has announced the Lumix S 40mm f/2, a compact full-frame prime that looks like it is designed to sit somewhere between a standard and a wide-angle lens. At 40mm, it offers a slightly wider field of view than a typical 50mm, which tends to give a more natural perspective without feeling too tight. The lens is also pretty small, coming in at 144 grams and 40.9mm in length. From a technical standpoint, the lens uses a 7-element, 6-group optical desig

Meike Unveiled New Lenses
credits: Meike Meike has unveiled/shown two new lenses at NAB 2026, adding both a full-frame portrait option and a fast APS-C prime to its lineup, the AF 85mm f/1.4 II and the AF 58mm f/1.2. Both lenses continue Meike’s recent push into autofocus with faster apertures, while still keeping things relatively compact compared to some of the larger options in this category. From the early looks, both lenses feature a physical aperture ring with marked stops, along with a dedicate

DxO’s New Nik Collection 9
credits: DxO DxO’s new Nik Collection 9 is here. It is the latest version of the company’s long-running suite of photo editing plugins, and this update focuses on AI-assisted masking and more flexible editing controls. The collection still works both as a standalone app and as a plugin for software like Photoshop and Lightroom Classic, but the main thing this time is improving how you handle local adjustments rather than changing the overall workflow. The biggest additions ar

Leica Partners With Gpixel
credits: Leica Leica Camera AG and Gpixel, a leading global provider of CMOS image sensors, have announced a new strategic partnership. The two companies are working together to co-develop a new high-performance image sensor for next-generation Leica cameras. That lines up with what Leica chairman Andreas Kaufmann mentioned late last year, when he hinted that the company was getting back into sensor development after relying more on off-the-shelf solutions in recent models.

Brightin Star’s New 12mm f/2.8 Ultra-Wide
credits: Brightin Star Brightin Star has introduced a new AF 12mm f/2.8 ultra-wide-angle lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras, built around a design that tries to balance field of view with more controlled distortion. At 12mm, the lens delivers a 122.5-degree angle of view, which sits in ultra-wide territory, but unlike many lenses at this focal length, it is not designed to produce a fisheye-style photo. Instead, the goal here is to keep straight lines more intact, which i

Viltrox’s New AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB Lens
credits: Viltrox Viltrox has released a new version of its AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB lens, this time without the built-in TFT/LCD screen. Aside from that change, the specs appear to be essentially identical to the original version. It is available for Sony E and Nikon Z mounts, and like before, it is positioned as a high-end, fast full-frame prime. The lens uses a 15-element, 10-group optical design, including 5 ED elements, 3 high-refractive index elements, and 2 aspherical elements

Insta360 Is Making A MFT Camera?
credits: Insta360 Back in January, Insta360’s CEO Jingkang “JK” Liu shared a teaser photo on Weibo that showed two unreleased products, but did not say much about either of them. Now, a new leak is starting to fill in some of the gaps, and it looks like one of those products could be a pretty unusual entry into the Micro Four Thirds space. Leaked photos, which briefly appeared on Bilibili before being taken down, show what looks like a new Insta360 camera built around a 20MP

Thypoch’s Upcoming 24-50mm f/2.8 Lens
credits: Thypoch Thypoch looks ready to officially show its new 24–50mm f/2.8 at NAB 2026, and it marks a pretty significant step for the company. This is its first autofocus zoom lens, and notably, one of the first Chinese full-frame constant-aperture f/2.8 zooms with autofocus. The company has been teasing the lens for a few weeks, but is now starting to share more concrete details, giving us a clearer idea of how it fits into the lineup. The lens covers a 24–50mm focal ran

Glyph’s New CFexpress Type B Memory Cards
credits: Glyph Memory and storage device manufacturer Glyph is expanding beyond external solid state drives and into camera memory with the announcement of a series of CFexpress Type B cards. It is a move we have already seen from other storage brands like OWC. The new cards fall under the Capture+ series and are based on the newer CFexpress 4.0 standard, with capacities ranging from 256GB up to 4TB. The lowest capacity card, the 256GB, appears to be more designed to support

A New Adobe Lightroom Competitor
credits: Blackmagic Design Adobe Lightroom is getting an unexpected new competitor, and it is coming from Blackmagic Design. With the latest update, DaVinci Resolve 21 is adding a dedicated Photo page, bringing a full set of still image editing tools into software that has traditionally been focused on video editing and colour grading. The main difference here is that Resolve is bringing its node-based grading system over to still images. Instead of stacking edits in layers l

Voigtländer’s New APO-Skopar 75mm f/2.8 Lens
credits: Cosina Less than two months after introducing the Nokton Vintage Line 75mm f/1.5, Cosina has announced another 75mm option for Leica M-mount users, this time going in a very different direction. The new Voigtländer APO-Skopar 75mm f/2.8 is built around a much more compact design, measuring 44mm in length and weighing 191 grams. That makes it closer in size to a typical 50mm lens, and the narrow 54mm barrel is designed so it does not block the rangefinder frame lines,

Viltrox Is Teasing New Gear
credits: Viltrox Viltrox is teasing a pretty wide range of new gear ahead of NAB Show 2026, taking place April 18–22. One of the main highlights is the next step for its EVO series, including new APO lenses that are expected to be officially announced during the show. These are meant to improve optical performance while still keeping things practical for both photo and video work. Another big focus is the L-mount lineup, which Viltrox has been building up more seriously latel

Westcott’s New S18 Mini Flash
credits: Westsott Westcott has announced the S18 Mini, a compact and basic on-camera flash. It delivers 18Ws of output with a guide number of 16 at ISO 100, which puts it a bit above what you would get from a built-in flash, but still well below a full-size speed-light. It uses a single-pin hot shoe, so it will work across different camera brands, but there is no TTL or any kind of automatic exposure control. Everything here is manual. Power can be adjusted across 19 steps ov

Meike’s New AF 56mm f/1.7 Air Lens
credits: Meike Meike has announced a new AF 56mm f/1.7 Air lens for APS-C Sony E-mount cameras, adding another lightweight option to its lineup. On APS-C, that 56mm works out to roughly an 85mm equivalent, so it sits right in that classic short telephoto range that is often used for portraits. Looking at the specs, the lens uses an 11-element, 7-group optical design and has a 9-blade aperture, which should help with smoother background rendering. The aperture runs from f/1.7

The Latest Panasonic Rumours
credits: Panasonic New Panasonic rumours are starting to circulate, with updates expected across both full-frame and Micro Four Thirds systems. On the full-frame side, the LUMIX S9 II is said to stick with its compact, lightweight design but fix some of the main complaints about the original. The addition of a hot shoe is a big one, along with improvements to the overall build, which should feel more solid and less “plastic” this time around. The LUMIX S5 III is expected to m

The Latest Sony A7R VI Rumours
New Sony A7R VI rumours and leaks just dropped, and there is quite a bit to go through. The camera is still said to be in limited testing, with a release expected sometime around June 2026, likely coming before the next Alpha 7S model. The biggest talking point is a new 67-megapixel partially stacked sensor, although some reports also mention an 80MP fully stacked version, which suggests Sony might still be deciding on the final setup. Readout speeds are rumoured to hit 60fps

TTArtisan’s New AF 17mm f/1.8 Air Lens
credits: TTArtisan TTArtisan has announced the AF 17mm f/1.8 Air, a compact APS-C wide-angle prime that focuses on keeping size and weight down while still offering autofocus. The lens weighs 161 grams and has a full metal body. It is designed around a 17mm focal length, equivalent to roughly 25mm on full-frame systems, with an 81-degree angle of view. On the inside, it uses a 14-element, 10-group design, which is actually pretty complex for something this small. That kind of

Eizo’s New Monitor For Photographers
credits: Eizo Eizo has announced the ColorEdge CS3200X, a new 31.5-inch 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) monitor for photographers who need consistent, accurate colour for editing and print work. It is the largest model in the current CS Series lineup, and the main difference here is simply the extra space. Compared to smaller displays, it gives you more room to work with high-resolution files while still keeping your tools visible. The monitor covers 99% of Adobe RGB, which is good news
