credits: Cosina Cosina has announced a special edition of its Voigtländer Color-Skopar 35mm f/2.5 to celebrate 100 years of the Skopar lens series. The new Skopar 100th Model is based on the existing 35mm f/2.5 P II, which has been around since 2004. So this is not an entirely new lens, but more a redesigned version with a slightly smaller body. It comes in a silver finish with a matching slotted metal lens hood and a three-piece aluminium rear lens cap. The lens itself measu

credits: Nikon Just over a year after its major update, Nikon is following up with another firmware release for the Z6 III. This time, the focus is mainly on smaller refinements and bug fixes. Firmware version 2.01 brings a few improvements to existing features, including the ability to use Pre-Release Capture with Bluetooth remote controls. This means the camera can start buffering photos while you are holding the shutter button halfway down, even when using a remote, and th

credits: GoPro GoPro’s entire Mission 1 Series just received a new firmware update, with a particular focus on improving the cameras’ photography capabilities. The company says it has completely reworked the way the cameras capture photos, introducing a zero-lag shutter response that should make taking pictures feel much more immediate. There is also a new continuous shooting mode, allowing you to capture more than 100 consecutive photos at 12 megapixels or over 20 RAW photos

credits: TTArtisan TTArtisan has announced the AF 24mm f/3.8 Mini, a small autofocus pancake lens for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. Measuring 16mm long and 60mm in diameter, it is about as thick as a camera body cap. Weight comes in at 57g, making it even lighter than a standard Sony NP-FZ100 battery. Despite its size, the lens still supports autofocus and accepts regular 52mm screw-on filters. The 24mm focal length also makes it a fairly versatile all-round option for eve

credits: Pergear Pergear’s new 10mm f/5.6 II lens is here. It is an updated version of the company’s manual-focus fisheye lens for mirrorless cameras. The second generation keeps the same ultra-wide 172-degree field of view and compact pancake design, but introduces a few improvements to the construction and optical coatings. One of the biggest changes is the new all-metal body, replacing the previous design with something a little more substantial while keeping the weight do

credits: Nikon There are some new Nikon rumors floating around, and it looks like the company could have two major announcements coming before the end of the year. According to the latest information, the long-awaited Nikon Z70 could finally be unveiled in November, while the new Nikkor Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S is expected to arrive a little earlier, toward the end of October. The Z70 was originally rumoured for August or September, but Nikon delayed several upcoming product

credits: Sirui Sirui is preparing four new full-frame autofocus lenses, with two additions to its existing Aurora series and two models introducing an entirely new lineup called Swift. The upcoming Aurora 15mm f/1.6 and 24mm f/1.4 were already shown as prototypes at IBC 2026, but detailed specifications have now surfaced through retailer listings. Both follow the general design of the existing Aurora 35mm and 85mm f/1.4 lenses, with STM autofocus, aperture rings, customisable

credits: Sigma Sigma has announced a Z mount version of its 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary, giving Nikon APS-C users another all-in-one zoom option. The lens originally launched in 2025 for Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF and L-Mount, with Nikon Z now becoming the fifth supported mount. Its biggest selling point is obviously the 18.8x zoom range, covering everything from wide-angle to supertelephoto without having to change lenses. On a Nikon APS-C camera, that works out

credits: OM System OM System may have accidentally revealed two upcoming Micro Four Thirds lenses in a video posted on its official YouTube channel. During what was supposed to be a fairly casual conversation about the company’s existing lenses, an OM System employee showed presentation slides featuring two models that have not actually been announced yet, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4.5-5.6 R II and the M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 II. Both would be updated versions of l

credits: Fujifilm Fujifilm has released firmware version 2.00 for the X-Half, bringing several improvements to the little digital half-frame camera, including faster performance, a new creative filter and more flexibility in its Film Camera mode. One of the biggest complaints about the X-Half since its launch has been its somewhat sluggish operation, particularly when starting the camera or taking several photos in quick succession. With this update, Fujifilm is addressing so

credits: Skylum Skylum has decided to shut down its AI portrait editor Aperty this week, less than two years after launching it with the promise of five years of updates. The company says Aperty will officially close on November 4, although people who already own the software will still be able to use it. What they won’t be getting are any further updates. That is particularly frustrating considering lifetime licenses sold for around $250, with those five years of continued d

credits: Tamron Tamron is bringing another one of its existing Sony lenses over to Nikon Z-mount, this time the 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD. The lens originally launched for Sony E-mount back in 2022, and the new Z-mount version keeps the same unusual combination of a 20mm ultra-wide starting point and constant f/2.8 aperture. It is also relatively compact for a full-frame f/2.8 zoom, weighing 380g and measuring 88.7mm long, with weather sealing and a 67mm filter thread. Optical
