credits: Sigma Four newly redesigned Sigma lens filters are coming this November, with the company updating both their optical design and filter frames to reduce their impact on photo quality. The lineup includes the WR Ceramic Protector PTC-21, WR Protector + UV PUV-21, standard Protector LPT-21, and WR Circular PL Filter CPL-21. The Ceramic Protector is designed mainly around impact resistance, while the PUV-21 combines UV protection with a water- and oil-repellent coating.

credits: Sony Sony has announced the FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G, its first fisheye lens for E-mount and its first full-frame fisheye in about 20 years. Sony’s last first-party option was the 16mm f/2.8 for A-mount back in 2006, itself based on a Minolta design, so this has been a pretty big gap in the E-mount lineup. The new lens is also a little different from the usual fixed-focal-length fisheye. It has a 180-degree angle of view throughout the zoom range, transitioning from

credits: Adobe Adobe Camera Raw 18.6 is here, and the headline addition this time is a new Glow tool that brings three analog-inspired effects directly into ACR, Diffusion, Bloom, and Halation. You will find it in the Effects panel alongside Grain and Vignette. Diffusion gives your photo a softer, hazier look similar to shooting through a Black Mist or Pro-Mist filter, while Bloom concentrates that softer glow more around highlights. Halation ,on the other hand, adds the warm

credits: OM System We are now just one day away from the official OM PEN announcement, and one of the last big pieces of information may have just leaked, the price. According to numerous sources, the new Micro Four Thirds camera will cost around $1,265 for the body, which is a noticeable step up from the Olympus E-P7, which can currently be found for around $900, but the OM PEN is expected to add two pretty important things the E-P7 did not have, a built-in electronic viewfi

credits: Leica Leica has announced the Summicron-M 66mm f/2, a modern reinterpretation of the Elcan 66mm f/2, a lens designed by Dr. Walter Mandler at Ernst Leitz Canada in the late 1960s for the U.S. Navy. Only around 200 originals were produced, and they were built for covert reconnaissance work where getting as much fine detail as possible from a relatively small lens was the priority. For the new version, Leica has kept the basic optics and mechanics of the original but u

credits: Canon With just over a week to go before the expected announcement, we are getting a much clearer idea of what to expect from the Canon EOS R8 Mark II. A new list of rumoured specifications largely backs up what we have heard over the past few weeks, but there are a few surprises mixed in. Canon is reportedly sticking with the familiar 24MP full-frame sensor from the EOS R6 Mark II, paired with a fully electronic shutter capable of 40 fps and a maximum shutter speed

credits: Nikon Nikon has released the first firmware update for the Coolpix P1100, bringing the camera from version 1.0 to firmware 1.1. It is a pretty small update, with no new features this time around, but it fixes two bugs that could actually show up during normal shooting. The more important one involves continuous shooting. In some situations, the P1100 could stop responding when the zoom was adjusted while shooting a burst. That is a particularly relevant fix for this

credits: Canon Canon’s PowerShot comeback is continuing to take shape, and the company’s upcoming high-end compact apparently won’t be the G7 X Mark IV many people were expecting. According to the latest information, the new PowerShot will be a fairly significant departure from the G7 X Mark III and not a straightforward successor. That lines up with an earlier source who described the camera as “nothing like previous G series cameras.” There have been some conflicting rumour

credits: Samyang Samyang has been part of the L-Mount Alliance since 2023, but so far the company has not exactly flooded the system with lenses. That is slowly starting to change, though, and the latest addition is the Samyang AF 60-180mm f/2.8 L, a full-frame telephoto zoom developed together with Schneider-Kreuznach. It keeps a constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the entire 60-180mm range, while weighing 727.8g without the caps and hood. That is considerably lighter than th

credits: OM System OM System’s upcoming camera will reportedly be called simply the “OM PEN,” and thanks to a huge stream of leaks, we now have a very good idea of what to expect. OM System has already confirmed that a new camera will be unveiled on September 9, 2026, and according to the latest information, the company is dropping the familiar PEN-F, E-P and E-PL naming altogether. Whether that means OM System plans to have just one PEN line going forward isn’t clear yet. An

credits: Godox Godox has announced a pretty wacky new accessory called the LT1 Creative Pixel Light, a small customisable light that can sit right on top of a camera. Rather than working like a normal LED light, the LT1 is made up of a grid of individually controllable pixels, with each pixel able to display different colours and brightness levels. That means you can create little pixel-art designs, logos, words, numbers, smiley faces, hearts and other graphics, including ani

credits: DxO DxO’s new PhotoLab 10 is here, and this time the update is focused on AI masking, local adjustments, and a tighter editing workflow. One of the biggest additions is the new Depth Mask, which creates a depth map and lets you isolate different distances within a photo using a slider. You can keep the selected depth range very narrow or extend it across a much larger part, with feathering available to soften the transition. AI handles the initial depth detection, bu
