credits: Thypoch Thypoch has officially entered the autofocus mirrorless market with the launch of the new Voyager 24–50mm f/2.8 for Sony E-mount cameras. The lens is being presented as the company’s first autofocus lens and, according to Thypoch, the first full-frame autofocus zoom developed by a Chinese optical brand. Instead of going after a large zoom range, the Voyager focuses on the three focal lengths photographers tend to use most in everyday situations: 24mm, 35mm, a

credits: Snapseed For a long time, a lot of mobile photographers assumed Snapseed had been abandoned. Before last year’s version 3.0 update on iOS, the app had not seen a major update since 2017, back when the iPhone X had just launched. Now, though, Google has followed that up much faster than expected with the release of Snapseed 4.0 for both iOS and Android, which is probably the strongest sign yet that the app is still actively being worked on. Snapseed originally launche

credits: Sony Sony’s new a7R VI is finally here, and this time the biggest story is not just resolution. For the first time in the series, Sony is pushing the a7R line heavily toward speed as well. The camera uses a brand-new 66.8-megapixel fully stacked Exmor RS full-frame sensor, replacing the older 61MP sensor architecture that had been around since the a7R IV in 2019. Moving to a fully stacked design brings a major jump in readout speed, allowing the camera to shoot 14-bi

credits: Panasonic Panasonic’s new Lumix L10 is here. It is a fixed-lens compact camera that takes a lot of inspiration from the older LX100 series, but with updated hardware and a much more modern feature set. The camera is built around a 20.4-megapixel backside-illuminated Micro Four Thirds sensor (the same sensor used in the Lumix GH7) paired with Panasonic’s latest image processor and Dynamic Range Boost technology. Despite using a relatively large sensor for a compact ca

credits: Panasonic Two new Panasonic rumours are currently getting a lot of attention. One points to a new compact Micro Four Thirds camera, while the other involves a previously unknown camera model called DC-L10 showing up on official Panasonic websites. Put together, they suggest Panasonic could be expanding the Lumix lineup again sometime in the second half of 2026. According to multiple reports, Panasonic is apparently working on a smaller MFT camera expected to launch l

credits: Brigtin Star Brightin Star has announced the new 7.5mm f/2.8 IV APS-C fisheye lens, a manual-focus ultra-wide lens for mirrorless cameras. The lens is built around a 190-degree field of view, which goes beyond the range of many fisheye designs and creates the strong perspective distortion and curved rendering typically associated with this type of lens. The fisheye is designed for APS-C cameras and will be available for Sony E, Nikon Z, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, Canon EF

credits: Sony Sony and semiconductor giant TSMC have announced a preliminary agreement to work together on a new image sensor fabrication facility in Japan, with the goal of developing and manufacturing the next generation of camera sensors. The agreement is currently non-binding, but the two companies say the project would involve a new facility in Koshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, on Japan’s southern island of Kyushu. The proposed joint venture would combine Sony’s sensor de

credits: Viltrox Just ahead of China P&E 2026, rumours are starting to pile up around several new Viltrox lenses, with reports pointing to at least three additions to the company’s Pro series for both full-frame and APS-C cameras. The show takes place in Beijing from May 15 to 18, and based on recent leaks and social media teasers, Viltrox looks set to have a fairly busy event. According to multiple reports, Viltrox is expected to announce a new AF 35mm f/1.4 Pro for full-fra

credits: ZY Optics ZY Optics (Zhongyi) is getting ready to announce two new lenses at the upcoming Beijing P&E Imaging Show 2026, including a 30mm f/2.4 medium format lens and a 45mm f/1.4. So far, though, the company has only shared details about the new 30mm f/2.4, which becomes the latest addition to its growing PITTURA series lineup. The lens is designed specifically for 44×33mm medium format sensors and will be available for both Fujifilm GFX and Pentax 645 systems. That

credits: Sony Sony has seemingly started teasing its next Alpha camera, describing it as “the next R” in a new social media post. While the teaser avoids mentioning the camera directly, it does not leave much room for interpretation either. At this point, it is looking very likely that Sony is preparing to unveil the long-rumoured A7R VI, with the official announcement scheduled for May 13. The current A7R V is slowly starting to show its age in a few areas. Although Sony cha

credits: Nikon Nikon has announced that it is developing a new high-end telephoto zoom lens, the Nikkor Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S, and one of the biggest details is right in the name, it includes a built-in 1.4x teleconverter. That means the lens can extend its range from 120-300mm f/2.8 to roughly 168-420mm f/4 without needing an external converter. The lens will be part of Nikon’s premium S-Line lineup for full-frame Z-mount cameras. The new lens looks like a direct mirrorl

credits: Maven Filters Maven Filters’ Iron Slider Gradient Adapter is here. It is a new filter system designed to give photographers more control over graduated ND filters without needing the large square filter setups that are usually associated with them. The system combines a magnetic adapter with Maven’s 95mm graduated ND filters, allowing the filter to slide freely up and down across the front of the lens. The adapter comes in 72mm, 77mm, and 82mm thread sizes. While the
