Brightin Star’s 35mm f/1.7 M-Mount Lens
credits: Brightin Star Brightin Star first showed its APO 35mm f/1.7 ASPH. at CP+ 2026 back in February, and now, around six months later, the new Leica M-Mount lens is finally available to order. It is only the company’s second M-mount lens, following the 28mm f/2.8 Pancake released in 2023. The 35mm is a very different design, though, combining an f/1.7 aperture with an apochromatic optical formula and becoming the first lens in Brightin Star’s new Apex higher-end series. I

SmallRig’s New Potato Jet Tribex Pro Monopod
credits: SmallRig SmallRig has announced the new Potato Jet Tribex Pro Monopod, taking the single-handle clutch system from its Tribex Tripod and putting it into a smaller monopod for both photographers and videographers. The main feature is SmallRig’s X-Clutch hydraulic system, which connects the leg sections to a single handle. Rather than opening and locking each section separately, that one control can extend the monopod and lock everything into place. The three-section m

TTArtisan’s New AF 85mm f/1.8 Neo Lens
TTArtisan has announced the new AF 85mm f/1.8 Neo, a compact full-frame portrait prime for Sony E and Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. The idea behind the lens is pretty simple. TTArtisan has stripped things back and focused mainly on the optics, autofocus, and keeping the overall design (and price) slim. The company sums up the approach as “Pure image. Nothing extra.” That becomes pretty obvious when looking at the design. Rather than using a traditional metal exterior, the

Godox’s New Electric Suction Base
Godox’s latest lighting accessory is not actually a light at all. The new ES01 Electric Suction Base is a small, battery-powered mounting system that lets you attach flashes and compact LED lights to surfaces where a normal light stand would be difficult or simply get in the way. Godox has been releasing quite a few compact flashes lately, including the retro-looking iM30Pro in June and the universal iT32 iFlash last autumn. The new ES01 works with those and several other God

ON1’s New NoNoise AI 2027 Is Coming
credits: On1 ON1’s new NoNoise AI 2027 is coming in late September, as the company announced just yesterday, with the biggest change being a completely revamped set of AI noise-reduction models. Rather than relying on one general model for every photo, the new version lets you choose a model based on what you are shooting specifically, with options for wildlife, people and concerts, astrophotography, and scanned film negatives. The idea is to remove heavy noise while doing a

New Nikon Firmware Updates
credits: Nikon Nikon has released new firmware updates for two cameras, with the Z5 II moving to version 1.20 and the older Coolpix P1000 getting version 1.9. The Z5 II receives the much bigger update of the two, although most of the changes are relatively small. Nikon has renamed “Cloud Picture Control” to “Imaging Recipe,” while “Add Cloud Picture Control files” is now called “Download imaging recipes.” So basically, Nikon is cleaning up the terminology so that it matches w

Capture One Mobile 4.0 Is Here
credits: Capture One Capture One Mobile 4.0 is here, bringing a few more of the desktop app’s editing tools over to iPhone and iPad. Capture One first launched its mobile app in 2022 and has been gradually adding to it ever since, with tethering and many of the familiar editing controls already available. Version 4.0 adds four more tools that users have been asking for, Enhanced Denoise, Colour Balance, Heal/Clone, and Keywords. According to Capture One, healing was actually

Sandmarc’s New 96mm Telephoto Lens
credits: Sandmarc Sandmarc has announced a new 96mm Telephoto lens for iPhone, designed to give mobile photographers considerably more reach without relying entirely on digital zoom. The add-on lens mounts over the iPhone’s existing tetraprism telephoto camera and provides 4x optical magnification, using a multi-element, multi-coated glass design. Exactly how much reach you get depends on the iPhone. On the latest iPhone 17 Pro models, Sandmarc says the combination can reach

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
