credits: Sony Fresh rumours suggest Sony is preparing to announce the long-awaited RX10 V, with multiple sources now pointing to an early July 2026 unveiling. If the reports are accurate, it would be the first update to Sony’s bridge camera lineup since the RX10 IV launched back in 2017. So far, leaked specifications remain fairly limited, but most reports describe the RX10 V as a modest refresh rather than a major upgrade. The camera is expected to keep the familiar 20.1MP 1

Cameras like the Pure35, Lomography’s lineup, and Dubble Film’s SHOW camera have all helped bring film photography back into the spotlight. Now another familiar name has entered the mix with the launch of the Praktica VF212. While the Praktica name will be familiar to many longtime photographers, this new camera has unfortunately very little in common with

The 50mm is the more notable of the two, with Leica claiming it is the world’s most compact autofocus 50mm f/1.4 lens, regardless of mount. It measures 75.5mm in length, 74mm in diameter, weighs 584g, and uses a 67mm filter thread. The lens features an 11-element, 6-gro

credits: Samyang After first being shown at CP+ in late February and teased again a couple of weeks ago, LK Samyang and Schneider-Kreuznach have officially unveiled their new AF 60-180mm f/2.8 full-frame telephoto zoom. The lens completes the companies’ Compact Zoom Series, joining the previously released AF 14-24mm f/2.8 and AF 24-60mm f/2.8. One of its biggest highlights is the weight, coming in at 730g, making it noticeably lighter than many other f/2.8 telephoto zooms in

Instead of the rigid metal construction used by conventional beauty dishes, the EazyFlow has a quick-release frame that opens and locks into place with the push of a button. Pressing a second button collapses it back down into a slim profile that (according to G
