credits: Sigma Seven years after introducing its original fp camera, Sigma is back with the new FP2, keeping the same compact, box-shaped design but making a few changes on the inside. The camera still uses a 24.5-megapixel full-frame sensor, although this time it is a partially stacked CMOS sensor with faster readout speeds, which should help reduce rolling shutter compared to the original fp. Interestingly, Sigma has once again decided to leave out both a mechanical shutter

credits: Lensbaby Lensbaby has announced two new creative filter collections, Omni Color II and Omni Crystal II. Both are designed to create different effects directly in-camera, instead of having to add them later in editing. For those unfamiliar with the system, it works by placing coloured films, crystals or reflective materials in front of your lens. You can move them around, change their angles or combine several filters to get different results. Some add a little colour

credits: Viltrox Just the other day Viltrox started teasing a new full-frame f/1.4 Pro lens, and it looks like the company is finally getting ready to release its long-awaited AF 35mm f/1.4 Pro. The teaser itself is pretty straightforward. It shows the numbers 50 and 85, referring to the already available 50mm f/1.4 Pro and 85mm f/1.4 Pro, with a question mark sitting between them. Above that, the words “F1.4” and “Pro” are visible. While Viltrox has not officially confirmed

credits: Skylum Skylum has announced a new autumn update for Luminar, bringing several new editing features, improvements to existing tools and a redesigned export system. One of the biggest additions is a dedicated print mode, which allows you to prepare and order physical prints directly from the software. The export window has also been redesigned and now opens in full-screen mode with a live preview. You can add text or photo watermarks, remove individual photos from the

credits: Pixii French camera manufacturer Pixii has entered judicial liquidation, and things are not looking particularly good for the future of the company. Pixii has been dealing with financial problems for quite some time now, having entered court-supervised restructuring back in December 2025. The company was originally given until December 2026 to try to sort out its finances, but apparently that was not enough. On July 22, 2026, a French commercial court decided to move

credits: DxO DxO ViewPoint 6 is here, bringing AI-powered masking to the latest version of the company’s perspective correction software. The idea is to give you more control over which parts of a photo you want to correct, instead of having to adjust the entire frame. For example, if you are shooting several buildings and only one of them looks distorted, you can now correct that particular building without changing the others. The new AI masking works with ReShape Fusion, a

credits: Sigma Exciting times appear to be ahead for Sigma fans. The Japanese manufacturer has announced its “2026 Sigma Special Event” for October 23, and there is already quite a bit of speculation about what the company might be planning to unveil. The announcement was shared on Sigma’s Chinese Weibo account, with the event scheduled for 2:30 PM China time and a livestream planned as well. Sigma is also holding an event called the Optical Experience at its S’room in Shangh

credits: Sirui Sirui’s new BH-60 Ball and Fluid Head is here, combining two different tripod head designs into one. The idea is pretty simple, instead of having to choose between a traditional ball head for photography and a fluid head for video, you can switch between the two depending on what you are shooting. The BH-60 has two operating modes. In Ball Head Mode, you can freely adjust the camera’s position, making it easier to find the composition you want. Change to Pan-Ti

credits: Viltrox Viltrox has introduced two new colour options for its AF 26mm f/2.8 EVO FE, with the compact full-frame pancake lens now available in Graphite Grey and Mist Silver, alongside the original Classic Black version. Apart from the different finishes, the lens itself remains largely unchanged, although the new editions also come with a square lens hood that helps reduce stray light and offers some additional protection for the front element. The lens itself has an

credits: Thypoch Thypoch seems to be getting ready to release its Voyager 24-50mm f/2.8 autofocus zoom for Nikon Z-mount, after originally launching the lens exclusively for Sony E-mount. For a short time, the Nikon version appeared on the company’s website yesterday, suggesting that an official release might not be too far away. Thypoch had already mentioned plans to bring the lens to Nikon Z and L-Mount back in April, so this is not exactly a surprise. Interestingly, the we

credits: Panasonic November 2026 could be a pretty interesting month for Panasonic and L-Mount fans, with several sources now claiming that Panasonic is preparing a major product announcement. Three separate sources have reportedly confirmed that an event is planned for November, although there have not been any concrete leaks about what the company might actually unveil. The timing would certainly make sense, though, as 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the Lumix brand, whi

credits: AstrHori AstrHori has announced a new 8mm f/2.4 circular fisheye lens for medium-format cameras, available for both Fujifilm GFX and Hasselblad XCD mounts. What makes this lens ‘special’ is its 220-degree field of view, which means it can actually capture more than what is directly in front of the camera, including parts of the scene slightly behind it. The result is a circular photo with extremely exaggerated perspective and distortion. Optically, the AstrHori MF 8m
