credits: Aftershoot Aftershoot, the company best known for its editing and culling software, has launched a free RAW editor called Photon. The software is meant for photographers who want to start working with RAW files but find traditional editors a bit overwhelming. Its main feature is an AI Coach, which looks at the photo, suggests possible adjustments and, importantly, explains why you might want to make them. So instead of simply applying an edit automatically, the idea

credits: Fujifilm Good news for Fujifilm fans, it now looks like the X-T6 will arrive in November 2026, giving us a new launch window after the camera’s original September 4 announcement was postponed. For a while, that delay left open the possibility that Fujifilm might push the X-T6 all the way into 2027, but the latest information suggests we won’t have to wait quite that long. We are also getting another look at the X-T6 itself, following the detailed sketches of the fron

Leaked product shot Sigma has a new lens announcement planned for October 24 in Cologne, and there are now some pretty strong indications of what we could see at the event. The expected lens is the Sigma 50-120mm f/2.8 DC OS | Contemporary, a fast telephoto zoom designed for APS-C cameras. And shortly before the event, the first product photos and a fairly detailed set of specifications have now leaked, giving us a much better idea of what Sigma is preparing. On APS-C, the 50

credits: Shoten Koubou Shoten Koubou just launched its first interchangeable lens, and for its debut the Japanese company is going back to one of the most interesting lenses from the 1950s. The new Shoten Tribute 01 LTM 50mm f/1.1 is a modern take on the Zunow 50mm f/1.1 from 1953, which was actually the first photographic lens to break the f/1.2 barrier. Original Zunow lenses are extremely rare today and can sell for around $10,000 when they do appear. The Tribute 01 is the

credits: Samyang LK Samyang and Schneider-Kreuznach have another interesting full-frame zoom lens coming for Sony E-mount, this time covering everything from wide-angle to short telephoto without giving up the constant f/2.8 aperture. The upcoming AF 28-135mm f/2.8 FE was first shown as a prototype at IBC 2025, and we now have much more detailed specifications ahead of its planned February 2027 release. It is a pretty unusual zoom range for an f/2.8 lens, going much further a

credits: Halide The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max have been out for a couple of weeks now, and third-party camera apps are starting to make use of their new variable-aperture main camera. One of the first is Halide, which has just released version 3.2 with much more detailed aperture control than Apple provides in its own Camera app. While Apple gives you four aperture presets, Halide lets you choose any value between f/1.48 and f/4, so you can dial in something specific like f/2

credits: Lomography Lomography has announced another unusual 35mm f/1.8 Petzval lens, and this one gives you considerably more control over the characteristic swirling bokeh these lenses are known for. The new Joseph Petzval Métamorphose 35mm f/1.8 is available for Sony E, Canon RF and Nikon Z full-frame cameras and features a dedicated bokeh control ring with seven different levels. Instead of being stuck with one particular Petzval look, you can decide how strongly the back

credits: Fujirumors New detailed sketches have given us one of our clearest looks yet at the upcoming Fujifilm X-T6, including a few interesting changes to the controls. Exactly when we will actually see the camera is still unclear. A September 2026 announcement had been rumoured for quite some time, but Fujifilm reportedly pushed the launch back. That means an announcement before the end of the year is still possible, although early 2027 is looking increasingly realistic. So

credits: Brightin Star Brightin Star’s new 50mm f/2 Tri-Sight has officially launched, after first appearing at CP+ earlier this year. The full-frame manual-focus lens is available for Sony E, Leica L, Canon RF and Nikon Z mounts, but what makes it special is a third control ring alongside the usual focus and aperture rings. This one is marked Smooth, Prime and Foams, and turning it actually moves a floating optical group inside the lens, changing the way your bokeh looks. Ea

credits: Sony Another new Sony camera appears to be getting closer, although exactly what Sony is preparing is still a bit of a mystery. A recently registered camera carries the model number WW261362, and the available certification information points toward something in Sony’s mid-range or higher-end lineup. As usual with these registrations, there is no actual product name attached yet, but one possibility getting a lot of attention is the long-awaited Sony A7S IV. An A7S I

credits: Imagen Imagen’s Intelligent Studio is here. It is a new post-production workspace that combines manual RAW editing with the company’s existing AI tools. One of the main differences is that it does not force you through the usual cull, edit and export workflow in a fixed order. You can move between those stages however you want. It is also the first time Imagen has included a full manual RAW editing workspace, with controls for tone, colour, detail, lens corrections a

credits: Venus Optics Venus Optics has another Laowa tilt-shift lens on the way, and this one is a little unusual because of just how bright it is. The upcoming Laowa T/S 24mm f/2 is more than a stop faster than the 24mm f/3.5 tilt-shift lenses Canon and Nikon have offered in the past. That is a pretty big difference for this kind of lens, especially when you are working in lower light. It could also make the 24mm useful for more than the usual architecture, interior and prod
