credits: Brightin Star Brightin Star is teasing two new lenses, and there is already a surprising amount of detail that has been leaked through official company spec sheets. The first is a 50mm f/1.05 full-frame manual focus prime, available for Z, E, RF, and L mounts, and the second is a 60mm f/2.8 APS-C macro lens with 2× magnification, coming for Z, E, X, MFT, RF-S, and EF-M mounts. The 50mm f/1.05 is based on a 10-element, 7-group optical design that includes two high-ref

credits: Fujifilm Fujifilm’s long awaited X-T6 is now expected to arrive in September 2026, and one of the strongest hints so far is coming from an unexpected place, a Vietnamese retailer. Fujifilm Shop by X Camera has already put up a placeholder product page for the X-T6, noting that the camera hasn’t been officially announced and that the details are “for reference only.” Even so, the page includes a long list of specifications that line up surprisingly well with what has

credits: Fujifilm An all-white version of the Fujifilm X Half has been announced. The camera was first mentioned last week as an “overseas” release, which left a lot of room for guessing, but it has since been clarified that the special colour-way is only planned for the Chinese market for now. Fujifilm hasn’t shared any details on pricing or when it will go on sale specifically. The white edition keeps the same design as the standard X Half, just with a new look. Photos show

credits: Thypoch Thypoch just added a new ultra-wide, manual-focus lens to its Leica M lineup with the Ksana 21mm f/3.5 ASPH. It covers a full-frame image circle and delivers a 90.6-degree diagonal field of view, which puts it in the usual 21mm rangefinder category. Physically it is relatively small at about 27.3mm long and weighing 131 grams. The lens uses a 39mm filter thread, has a 42mm front diameter, and is offered in both black and silver finishes. On the optical side,

credits: Novachips Novachips just announced two new CFexpress Type B card families built around the CFexpress 4.0 standard, the Extreme CX4B and the Express CX4B. Both are meant for high-end photo and video workflows that rely on sustained write speed rather than short peak bursts, and both lines have achieved VPG 800 certification, which guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 800 MB/s on compatible CFexpress 4.0 hardware. The headline detail is capacity, since Novachi

credits: Tamron A newly published Tamron patent has put a spotlight on a 28–70mm f/2.0 zoom lens design, and it is already getting a lot of attention because it lives in the same space as Sony’s very pricey 28–70mm f/2 GM. On paper, this kind of lens is pretty exciting. A constant f/2 aperture across the standard zoom range means more light, more background blur, and a bit more breathing room in low light compared to the usual f/2.8 zooms. Looking a bit closer at the diagram,

credits: Viltrox Viltrox has once again taken to Reddit to discuss some of its future plans. In a reply to a user asking about upcoming gear, the company confirmed that its long-promised 50mm f/1.2 LAB and 85mm f/1.2 LAB lenses are both still on the roadmap and are now expected to arrive this year. The exchange also touched on teleconverters, with Viltrox saying it is currently working on compatibility between its new 2x teleconverter and Sony’s 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM. As for a

credits: Canon The Canon EOS R7 Mark II has been popping up more and more in rumours lately, and at this point everyone expects it to land sometime in the first half of 2026. We are probably still a few weeks, or maybe months, away from anything official, but new (and very promising) leaks about what the camera might look like on a spec sheet have started to circulate. Right now, the R7 Mark II is said to be getting a 39-megapixel sensor, likely a new BSI CMOS design. Whether

credits: Glyph Glyph has announced two new portable SSDs, the Atom EX20 and Atom EX40. Both drives are NVMe-based and built around the idea of sustained performance, specifically situations where large files are written and read continuously over long periods, such as on-set backups, editing directly from external storage, or just dumping multiple cards after a full and long shooting day. The main technical difference between the two models comes down to interface and sustain

credits: Canon Looking ahead into 2026, Canon’s roadmap is starting to look pretty busy, at least based on the rumours that have been circulating recently. After a relatively contained 2025, photographers are curious about what comes next and If there is one camera that feels almost inevitable, it is the Canon EOS R7 Mark II. Talk of a new APS-C flagship has been persistent, and reports suggest it could land in the first half of 2026. Specs are still tin, but higher resolutio

credits: Godox Godox updated its smallest battery-powered strobe with the AD100Pro II. This new flash keeps the same 100Ws output and nine-stop power range from 1/256 to full, but the internal design has been revised to better handle sustained use. A new active cooling system with an internal fan allows the AD100Pro II to fire roughly 60 to 100 full-power flashes in sequence without thermal shutdown, depending on conditions. Recycle times are ranging from about 0.01 seconds a

credits: Nikon Nikon has just announced the Nikkor Z 24–105mm f/4–7.1, a new standard zoom for its full-frame Z-mount mirrorless cameras. The lens can be purchased on its own, but it is also being introduced as a new kit option with the Nikon Z5 II, slotting between Nikon’s existing 24–50mm and 24–200mm kit bundles. From a technical standpoint, the 24–105mm f/4–7.1 uses 12 elements in 10 groups, including one extra-low dispersion element to help manage colour fringing and two
