credits: Lomography Lomography has announced another unusual 35mm f/1.8 Petzval lens, and this one gives you considerably more control over the characteristic swirling bokeh these lenses are known for. The new Joseph Petzval Métamorphose 35mm f/1.8 is available for Sony E, Canon RF and Nikon Z full-frame cameras and features a dedicated bokeh control ring with seven different levels. Instead of being stuck with one particular Petzval look, you can decide how strongly the back

credits: Fujirumors New detailed sketches have given us one of our clearest looks yet at the upcoming Fujifilm X-T6, including a few interesting changes to the controls. Exactly when we will actually see the camera is still unclear. A September 2026 announcement had been rumoured for quite some time, but Fujifilm reportedly pushed the launch back. That means an announcement before the end of the year is still possible, although early 2027 is looking increasingly realistic. So

credits: Brightin Star Brightin Star’s new 50mm f/2 Tri-Sight has officially launched, after first appearing at CP+ earlier this year. The full-frame manual-focus lens is available for Sony E, Leica L, Canon RF and Nikon Z mounts, but what makes it special is a third control ring alongside the usual focus and aperture rings. This one is marked Smooth, Prime and Foams, and turning it actually moves a floating optical group inside the lens, changing the way your bokeh looks. Ea

credits: Sony Another new Sony camera appears to be getting closer, although exactly what Sony is preparing is still a bit of a mystery. A recently registered camera carries the model number WW261362, and the available certification information points toward something in Sony’s mid-range or higher-end lineup. As usual with these registrations, there is no actual product name attached yet, but one possibility getting a lot of attention is the long-awaited Sony A7S IV. An A7S I

credits: Imagen Imagen’s Intelligent Studio is here. It is a new post-production workspace that combines manual RAW editing with the company’s existing AI tools. One of the main differences is that it does not force you through the usual cull, edit and export workflow in a fixed order. You can move between those stages however you want. It is also the first time Imagen has included a full manual RAW editing workspace, with controls for tone, colour, detail, lens corrections a

credits: Venus Optics Venus Optics has another Laowa tilt-shift lens on the way, and this one is a little unusual because of just how bright it is. The upcoming Laowa T/S 24mm f/2 is more than a stop faster than the 24mm f/3.5 tilt-shift lenses Canon and Nikon have offered in the past. That is a pretty big difference for this kind of lens, especially when you are working in lower light. It could also make the 24mm useful for more than the usual architecture, interior and prod

credits: Leica There are quite a few Leica rumours floating around at the moment, giving us a better idea of what could be coming next from the company through the end of 2026 and into 2027. New cameras, different versions of existing models and several long-rumoured lenses are all being discussed, although some of these products have apparently been in development for years without actually arriving. Leica has not exactly been quiet in 2026 either, with the Noctilux-M 35mm f

credits: SmallRig SmallRig has launched a pair of external optical viewfinders for 28mm and 35mm lenses, giving photographers another way to compose without relying on a rear screen or electronic viewfinder. The 28mm External Optical Viewfinder provides a 28mm full-frame equivalent field of view and includes built-in 3:2 frame lines. There are no electronics involved, so there is no autofocus information, exposure preview or communication with the camera. It simply attaches t

credits: Mandler Chinese lens maker Mandler is back with its second Leica-inspired lens, following the 35mm f/2 it launched earlier this year. This time it is the Mandler 50mm f/1.4 E46 Pre-A, which takes its inspiration from the classic pre-aspherical Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4. And just like with its first lens, Mandler is trying to get pretty close to the character of the original Leica lens, including its bokeh, colour, contrast and even the way it handles flare, while m

credits: Canon Canon’s next RF macro lens might not be the long-awaited successor to the EF 180mm f/3.5L USM Macro after all. Instead, the latest rumours point toward a much smaller RF 90mm f/2.8 IS STM Macro, which would sit below Canon’s existing RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro. The rumoured name is important here, as there is no L designation, suggesting Canon is working on a more affordable macro instead of another high-end professional option. The lens is expected to use an

credits: Polar Pro PolarPro has always put quite a bit of emphasis on creating effects in-camera instead of adding them later during editing, and the company’s latest filters follow that spirit. The new Radial Gradient Filters add colour directly while you are shooting, with three versions available, blue, red and orange. Each uses a radial gradient, so the centre of the photo remains relatively neutral while the colour gradually becomes stronger toward the edges. How strong

credits: Adobe Adobe is continuing to put its editing tools into AI chatbots, and Google Gemini is the latest platform to get them. The new Adobe integration brings tools from Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Express and Firefly directly into Gemini, meaning you can ask for edits through a normal conversation rather than opening the individual Adobe apps. It follows similar integrations Adobe has already introduced for ChatGPT, Claude, Slack and Microsoft Copilot, and gives Adobe
