Nikon Is Developing A 120-300mm f/2.8 S Lens
credits: Nikon Nikon has announced that it is developing a new high-end telephoto zoom lens, the Nikkor Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S, and one of the biggest details is right in the name, it includes a built-in 1.4x teleconverter. That means the lens can extend its range from 120-300mm f/2.8 to roughly 168-420mm f/4 without needing an external converter. The lens will be part of Nikon’s premium S-Line lineup for full-frame Z-mount cameras. The new lens looks like a direct mirrorl

Maven Filters’ Iron Slider Gradient Adapter
credits: Maven Filters Maven Filters’ Iron Slider Gradient Adapter is here. It is a new filter system designed to give photographers more control over graduated ND filters without needing the large square filter setups that are usually associated with them. The system combines a magnetic adapter with Maven’s 95mm graduated ND filters, allowing the filter to slide freely up and down across the front of the lens. The adapter comes in 72mm, 77mm, and 82mm thread sizes. While the

OM System Is Making An OM-3 Monochrome?
credits: OM System A pretty unusual rumour is making the rounds right now. OM System is supposedly working on an OM-3 Monochrom, a black-and-white-only version of the OM-3 that could arrive as early as August 2026. According to multiple sources, the camera would be based on the existing OM-3 platform, which actually makes a fair amount of sense considering OM System has already experimented with niche versions of its cameras before, like the OM-3 Astro. The idea behind a mono

Funleader Updates Contax G35 Conversion Kit
credits: Funleader Funleader has announced an updated Black Edition of its Contax G35 Leica M Conversion Helicoid V2, continuing its approach of adapting classic Contax G lenses for Leica M cameras without permanently modifying the original lens. The update, according to the company, is especially interesting for photographers who still like the look and rendering of classic Zeiss optics on Leica M bodies. The biggest change is the move to an upgraded aluminium alloy housing

The Alfie Boxx Camera
credits: Alfie Cameras Alfie Cameras, a small UK-based company, is getting ready to launch its next camera, the Alfie Boxx. It is a pretty unusual concept compared to most cameras today, since it combines both shooting and developing film into a single device. In simple terms, it turns the camera into a sort of portable darkroom. The camera uses a wooden box-style design with a ground glass viewing screen, along with what Alfie calls a “Pocket Darkroom.” Inside, there is a ma

Samyang’s AF 14-24mm f/2.8 For L-Mount
credits: Samyang The Samyang AF 14–24mm f/2.8 is now officially coming to L-mount, about a year after the Sony E-mount version first showed up. That means photographers on Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma cameras are getting another option in the ultra-wide zoom range. From a specs standpoint, though, it is basically the same lens as before, just adapted to a different mount. The lens keeps its 15 elements in 11 groups design, including 3 aspherical elements, 5 high-refractive (HR

The Latest Canon EOS R6 V Rumours
credits: Canon A bunch of new details about the Canon EOS R6 V have started to come out, and they change quite a bit compared to the earlier rumours. At first, it sounded like Canon might strip things back, especially when it came to stabilisation and cooling. Now, the newer info points in the opposite direction, with the camera actually getting features that make it look like a much more serious hybrid body. One of the bigger updates is IBIS, which is now expected to deliver

Light Lens Lab’s New 50mm f/1.9 Lens
credits: Light Lens Lab Light Lens Lab has announced a new 50mm f/1.9 “Rigid-ZS6” (Super Six) lens for Leica M-mount, adding another option to its Rigid Series. The lens is built around the original “Super-Six” double-Gaussian optical formula, using a 6-element, 4-group design with full-frame coverage. The goal seems to be keeping that older rendering style, especially in terms of bokeh and colour, while making some adjustments so it works a bit better on modern digital senso

Kase’s 150mm f/5.6 Reflex Lens Is Here
credits: Kase Kase’s new 150mm f/5.6 AF Reflex lens is now officially here, and it is a bit of an unusual one. It is a mirror (catadioptric) lens, which already makes it different from most modern lenses, but the bigger deal here is the fact that it actually has autofocus. That is something you almost never see with this type of design, especially at a relatively short focal length like 150mm. On the inside, the lens uses a 5-element, 4-group optical design that combines mirr

The Latest Sony A7R VI Rumours
credits: Sony The rumour mill around the Sony A7R VI is really starting to heat up. For a while, it was just talk that the new full-frame camera would show up sometime in May, but now there is a more specific date going around, with the A7R VI expected to be announced on May 13, 2026. If that lines up, it will land right in the middle of a pretty busy period for camera announcements. The biggest talking point is the rumoured 67-megapixel fully stacked full-frame sensor. That

The Latest Nikon Compact Camera Rumours
credits: Nikon New rumours suggest that Nikon’s planned compact full-frame camera could end up with a fixed focal length lens, which would definitely be a bit of a surprise. Back in early February, rumours of a compact Nikon full-frame camera started circulating, possibly based on the Nikon ZR and specifically built for photographers. At the time, the idea was a viewfinder-less system camera with interchangeable lenses. Now there is a new twist, and it is still not clear if t

DaVinci Resolve Photo Tools Update
credits: Blackmagic Design Blackmagic Design has released DaVinci Resolve 21 Beta 2, a quick follow-up to the recent public beta. It comes less than a month after the first version and mostly focuses on fixing issues and smoothing things out, especially around the new Photo page. The fast turnaround suggests Blackmagic is paying close attention to early feedback as it continues pushing Resolve further into photo editing. Most of the changes in Beta 2 are about reliability, to
