credits: 7Artisans 7Artisans’ previously rumoured AF 10mm f/2.8 lens for APS-C cameras is here, launching first for Sony E and Fujifilm X mounts. As an ultra-wide 10mm prime (105.3° field of view), the lens is built around an 11-element, 10-group optical design that includes specialised elements to keep distortion and edge softness under control. It offers an aperture range from f/2.8 to f/16 and uses a 7-blade diaphragm that can create a 14-point sunstar when you stop it dow

credits: OWC OWC has introduced the StudioStack, an expansion unit that sits on top of the Mac Studio and adds a boost in storage and ports without taking up any extra desk space. Inside, it can hold both an NVMe M.2 2280 SSD (up to 8TB for now) and a 3.5-inch SATA hard drive up to 24TB, giving you as much as 32TB of extra room to work with. The NVMe slot is also ready for larger drives once 16TB models eventually hit the market. This setup makes it easier to split fast proje

credits: Llano Llano has introduced the CS2 Pro 4-in-1 Camera Battery Charger, a compact charging and storage hub for photographers that travel a lot and want to keep their gear simple and organised. It is designed to handle a few different jobs at once, namely charging batteries, working as a power bank, reading memory cards, and storing small accessories. The kit includes two 2600mAh Aurora batteries, a 10,400mAh built-in power bank, a 20W USB-C fast charger, and a USB 3.0

credits: AstrHori AstrHori’s new 9mm f/2.8 APS-C lens is finally here. It is a fully manual ultra-wide lens for mirrorless systems including Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and Micro Four Thirds. With a 13.5mm full-frame equivalent focal length, it delivers a 111.4° angle of view, making it ideal for interiors, landscapes and cities. The lens has an all-metal build with a built-in petal-shaped hood to help reduce flare and protect the front element. It has a 62mm filte

Photo by: @therealamogh Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The leading lines are pretty good, the foreground tram rails pull you right into the photo and stretch all the way up the hill, giving the whole image an incredible sense of depth. They also create a strong visual flow. The perspective is also very nice, you have that long, vertical stretch of the road disappearing into the distance, which gives the photo a very surreal/almost ‘‘impossibl

credits: Light Lens Lab Light Lens Lab has unveiled its latest creation, the 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873” for Leica M-Mount. The lens is a modern reimagining of the rare Leica Summilux 35mm f/1.4 double-sided aspherical lens from the late 1980s. The company says it set out to replicate the unique optical character of that original lens while improving on precision, distortion control and chromatic aberration to suit today’s high-resolution sensors. The new 35mm f/1.4 feature

credits: Mint/Rollei 35AF Mint finally addressed one of the main requests regarding their Rollei 35AF cameras, the ability to use filters. In direct response to community feedback, the company launched a new Filter Kit including a UV filter, Black Mist 1/4 filter and yellow filter, all of which attach via a new magnetic adapter. According to Mint, the project reflects the same philosophy that guided the original Rollei 35 cameras, which were gradually improved over time throu

credits: Sony After Canon’s big EOS R6 Mark III reveal, attention in the camera world is already shifting toward what’s next, the upcoming Sony A7 V. According to new reports, Sony plans to unveil the long-awaited successor to the A7 IV in the first week of December, making it likely the final major camera launch of 2025. A new leaked image of the camera surfaced recently, confirming its design is nearly finalised, and now, Sonyalpharumors says they are “100% certain” the A7

What Is High-Key Lighting? High-key lighting is a style where everything in your photo, so the subject, background, and shadows, is evenly lit and bright. You reduce contrast as much as possible, so there are few (if any) deep shadows. In the end you get a photo that feels light, fresh, minimal in a sense, and often very polished. A lot of times you see it in fashion, beauty and product photography, but it also works outdoors, especially for landscapes and nature shots (a lot

credits: Godox Godox just announced a new modular lighting setup, the iT32 iFlash and X5 TTL Wireless Flash Trigger, and it is something interesting for photographers who jump between different camera brands. Instead of buying separate flashes for each system, the iT32 lets you swap out the hot shoe to match whatever camera you are shooting with. The flash itself doesn’t have a built-in shoe at all, it connects magnetically to the X5 trigger, which comes in different versions

Canon has officially introduced the EOS R6 Mark III, the long-awaited successor to the R6 II, and while it looks similar on the outside, the changes inside suggest a more substantial upgrade than first impressions might indicate. The new camera is built around a 32.5-megapixel full-frame sensor, a noticeable jump from the R6 II’s 24.2 megapixels, and one that Canon says it developed alongside its cinema division. It’s paired with the familiar DIGIC X processor, which helps ma

credits: Nikon It looks like Nikon’s long-awaited Z9 II won’t be showing up this year after all. According to several reliable sources, the next-generation flagship mirrorless camera has been delayed and is now expected sometime in 2026. Earlier reports pointed to a late 2025 reveal, possibly timed ahead of the Winter Olympics, but that window now seems off the table. The latest information suggests the launch could happen after April 1, 2026, which marks the start of Nikon’s

credits: Pocket Dispo Pocket Dispo has introduced a new “Pro” version of its vintage-inspired pinhole lens, a rebuild that keeps the spirit of the original but adds some usability improvements. While it looks nearly identical to the first model, the Pocket Dispo Pro has been redesigned from the ground up, featuring a sturdier carbon-fibre composite body and, most notably, a new adjustable focus ring. The Pro version is available for Sony E, Fujifilm X, and Canon RF mounts. Li

credits: Capture One Capture One has released version 16.7, adding a handful of new tools and quality-of-life improvements. The update includes seven big new features, along with improved camera support and better tethering stability for several systems. Specifically, Capture One now offers Canon lens profiles for every RF camera, enhanced Fujifilm tethering, and immediate compatibility with new releases like the Fujifilm X-T30 III, Leica M EV1, and Canon C50. One of the bigg

credits: Canon After a couple of teasers, Canon officially revealed the EOS R6 Mark III, the long-awaited update to one of its most popular full-frame mirrorless cameras. The new model brings a fresh 32.5-megapixel full-frame sensor and Canon’s latest DIGIC X processor, the same combo found in the Cinema EOS C50. The jump in resolution is notable, about 34% higher than the R6 II, but the native ISO range now tops out at 64,000 instead of 102,400. Despite that, Canon promises

Photo by: @leanderhoefler Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The framing is pretty smart, minimal yet balanced. The bridge sits perfectly in the upper third, cutting the photo cleanly, and the woman is placed beautifully right below it —> that placement creates a strong compositional link between our subject and the bridge. The timing here is obviously great, catching the woman right where the bridge pillar visually “points” down to her feels ver

credits: Harlowe Harlowe has introduced two new continuous LED lights, the Max Air 40 and the Pro 300 Spectra for photographers and filmmakers who work in both studio and on-location environments. The Max Air 40 is a compact 40-watt light that runs on battery power and is built for portability. It outputs around 3,500 lumens through a fixed 23-degree lens and allows colour temperature adjustment between 2,700 K and 6,500 K. The light uses swappable 55Wh and 99Wh batteries, bo

credits: Skylum Skylum has released its Fall 2025 update for Luminar Neo, bringing a series of new features and refinements that aim to make the software more integrated and practical for everyday use. The biggest addition is the Luminar Neo Ecosystem, which connects mobile and desktop devices into a single, unified editing environment. This means you can start editing a photo on a phone while out in the field and then continue the same project on a computer later, without ma

photo by: @susonsjack Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The composition is well thought out, the path and the trees create a natural tunnel that pulls you right into the photo. The leading lines are also nice, stretching from the foreground all the way into the distance, which gives the photo the 3D depth effect. Layering wise we have got the woman and child in the front, then the cyclist mid-frame, and the distant background. That separation gi

credits: Viltrox Viltrox’s new AF 85mm f/2 Evo lens, first announced for Sony E-mount earlier this month, is now officially available for Nikon Z-mount as well. That gives Nikon photographers a compact, full-frame portrait lens option at a lower price than most native Z-mount glass. The lens measures 78mm long (noticeably shorter than Nikon’s 85mm f/1.8 S) and weighs 360 grams. It also takes 58mm filters instead of the Nikon’s larger 67mm, making it easier/cheaper to accessor

credits: DxO DxO just rolled out a round of updates for three of its main apps, PhotoLab, PureRAW, and Nik Collection. Each one gets some small improvements, mostly aimed at making editing smoother and a bit more flexible. PhotoLab 9.2 sharpens its AI masking tools, PureRAW 5.5 now works more naturally with Photoshop, and Nik Collection 8.2 adds a new set of paper textures that give digital photos an analog look. In PhotoLab 9.2, the AI masking tools are smarter about edge de
