credits: Pergear Pergear’s new 50mm f/1.4 manual focus lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras is here, offering a compact, all-metal option for Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and L-Mount users. Measuring just 66mm in diameter and 43.5mm in length, the lens weighs approximately 255g, making it one of the more compact full-frame 50mm f/1.4 lenses available. The lens features a traditional manual-focus design with a dedicated focus ring, a clicked aperture ring, and a built-in depth

credits: Panasonic Panasonic has released a new Firmware Version 2.0 update for four of its Lumix S lenses, bringing a small but useful change for photographers using the latest Lumix S cameras. The update is available for the Lumix S 14-28mm f/4-5.6 Macro, S 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3, S 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Macro OIS, and S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Macro OIS. Rather than improving image quality or autofocus performance, Panasonic is changing how the focus ring can be used. With the new firmwa

Sony has reportedly made a major offer to acquire Tamron, one of Japan’s largest lens manufacturers and the company behind more than 20 lenses for Sony’s E-mount mirrorless system. According to an exclusive report from Japanese publication Diamond, Sony Group has offered 200 billion yen to buy Tamron outright. At current exchange rates, that is roughly $1.2 billion USD. From Sony’s perspective, there are plenty of reasons why the deal would make sense. Tamron has become one o

The 7Artisans AF 10mm f/2.5 MAX was originally expected to launch on July 28, but despite that date coming and going, the company has yet to officially announce the lens. While there has been no explanation for the delay, several leaks have surfaced over the past couple days, giving us a fairly good idea of what to expect once it finally arrives. The upcoming lens is expected to be a full-frame autofocus fisheye with an ultra-wide 10mm focal length and a bright f/2.5 maximum

Venus Optics has announced the new Aksen Ultra Macro Series, introducing two full-frame macro zoom lenses that push magnification well beyond what most photographers are used to. The lineup includes the Aksen 45mm f/2.8 1–5x Ultra Macro APO and the Aksen 17.5mm f/1.7 5–10x Ultra Macro APO, with the latter being the first commercially available 5-10x ultra macro zoom lens. Both lenses are designed for extreme close-up photography, but one of their biggest selling points is tha

The lens is designed specifically for medium format cameras and offers an 84.5° angle of view, roughly equivalent to a 24mm lens on full frame. Despite covering such a large image circle, it is still fairly compact, measuring 81 × 80mm for the GFX version and 73 × 84mm for the XCD version, with a weight of around 550g.

credits: Canon Even though the current temperatures make autumn feel a long way off, September, traditionally one of the busiest months of the year for camera announcements, is now just around the corner. Canon is widely expected to introduce several new products ahead of the holiday shopping season, and recent rumours are beginning to paint a clearer picture of what could be on the way. At the moment, Canon has three registered but still unannounced cameras, DS126947, DS1269

credits: Fujifilm Fujifilm’s long-rumoured XF 400mm telephoto lens now looks to be almost certain. According to multiple sources, the company is getting ready to unveil a new XF 400mm prime alongside the Fujifilm X-T6, giving X-mount photographers another high-end telephoto option. Fujifilm has been expected to launch two new lenses with the X-T6 for quite some time. One is almost certainly the XF 50-140mm f/2.8 MK II, while the second was only known to be a telephoto prime.

credits: Sony Sony has reportedly made a major offer to buy Tamron, one of Japan’s biggest lens manufacturers and one of Sony’s closest partners in the camera industry. According to an exclusive report from Japanese outlet Diamond, Sony has offered around 200 billion yen (roughly $1.2 billion USD) to acquire the company outright. Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, but the report has gained credibility because Sony has already been closely tied to Tamron for years. Unt

credits: Canon According to the latest rumours, Canon is preparing to announce a new photography-focused PowerShot in September 2026, and the most interesting claim is that the camera will feature a zoom lens with a maximum aperture wider than f/2 throughout the entire zoom range. If that proves accurate, it would be a significant step forward for a compact camera. For comparison, the PowerShot G7 X Mark III offers an f/1.8-2.8 lens, while the newer PowerShot V1 is limited to

credits: Tamron Tamron has released a new firmware update for its 25-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2, and it brings a pretty unusual improvement. While lens firmware updates normally focus on things like autofocus performance or compatibility, Firmware Version 3.00 actually makes the lens much better at close-up photography at the wider end of the zoom range. With the update installed, the lens now reaches 1:2 (half-macro) magnification from 25mm to 70mm, while the 35-50mm rang

credits: Adobe The latest version of Adobe Camera Raw, 18.4.1, started rolling out a few weeks ago, but it quietly introduced a feature that people have only just discovered, and they are going crazy over it. The update adds the ability to display the autofocus point that was used when a photo was taken, making it much easier to figure out whether a missed shot was caused by the camera’s autofocus system or simply by you placing the focus point in the wrong area.
