credits: Leica Leica has rolled out a new batch of firmware updates for several of its cameras, covering the SL2, SL2-S, Q3, Q3 43, Q3 Monochrom, and D-Lux 8. The biggest changes comes with Firmware 6.3.0 for the SL2 and SL2-S, which adds support for the recently introduced Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 ASPH. Leica has also fixed a battery drain issue that could occur when Bluetooth and Remote Wakeup were enabled while the camera was switched off. Other fixes address excessive vignet

credits: Fujifilm The Fujifilm X-T6 apparently won’t be arriving in early September after all. The camera was expected to make its debut during an X Summit around September 3, 2026, but multiple sources now say Fujifilm has cancelled the event and pushed back the announcement. The bigger question is when it will actually happen, as there does not seem to be a replacement date yet. Only a few weeks ago, the first week of September was looking pretty solid for the X-T6 launch,

The August update introduces a mix of new editing features, workflow improvements, and expanded camera and lens support, with some of the biggest additions focused on masking and AI-powered editing. Lightroom Classic 15.5 now supports cameras such as the GoPro Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro, along with

credits: 7Artisans 7Artisans’ AF 40mm f/2.5 full-frame prime lens for Nikon Z and L-Mount is here, just after the lens was first launched for Sony E-mount a few months ago. The new versions are almost identical to the original, with only small design changes to accommodate the different mounts. Measuring around 40mm in length and weighing roughly 90g, it remains one of the smallest autofocus full-frame prime lenses available. On the inside, the lens uses a 7-element, 6-group

credits: Light Lens Lab Light Lens Lab has officially unveiled the new 35mm f/2 Apochromatic, marking a relatively big change for a company that has built its reputation recreating classic lenses. Rather than reimagining a vintage design, this is Light Lens Lab’s first completely original lens, developed as part of its new High-Performance Optical Research Project and the first model in a planned High Performance Series. Designed for Leica M-Mount, the manual-focus lens tries

credits: Skylum Skylum’s first part of a major update for Luminar is here, bringing a redesigned interface, better performance, and a number of upgraded AI-powered editing tools. One of the biggest additions is improved generative AI, which can now create new elements that blend more naturally into your original photo. The update also makes the app easier to navigate by combining the Catalog and Edit workspaces into one, so there is no longer any need to switch between separa

credits: Godox Godox’s well-known LiteMons series just gained three new full-colour additions, the LE200R, LE300R, and LE600R. While the original LiteMons models were bi-colour lights, the new versions add full RGB capabilities, allowing you to create coloured lighting effects directly from the fixture. All three lights cover a 1,800K to 10,000K colour temperature range and support HSI, RGBW, Gel, and FX modes, with 14 built-in lighting effects including lightning, thundersto

credits: Sony Sony has announced the new FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS, giving E-mount photographers a more ‘affordable’ way to reach the popular 100-400mm focal range. While it sits below Sony’s premium telephoto lineup and does not carry the G or G Master badge, it still brings several newer technologies to the table, including dual linear autofocus motors and support for continuous shooting at up to 120fps on compatible Sony cameras. Naturally, keeping the price down means a fe

credits: Nikon Fresh rumours suggest Nikon may not have given up on the Z7 series after all. While many photographers had started to question whether a Nikon Z7 III would ever arrive, a new report claims the camera is indeed in development. According to a source with a mixed but sometimes accurate track record, Nikon is working on a successor to the Z7 II that could feature a sensor with a resolution somewhere between 56 and 61 megapixels. As always with early rumours, it is

credits: Canon Canon’s newest lens patent is an interesting one. It outlines a three-group optical design that Canon says could deliver faster autofocus while also helping reduce the size and weight of future lenses. It is another sign of the direction Canon has been taking throughout the RF era, where the company has consistently worked on making fast-aperture lenses smaller without sacrificing image quality or autofocus performance. The basic idea is actually pretty simple.

credits: Pergear Pergear’s new 50mm f/1.4 manual focus lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras is here, offering a compact, all-metal option for Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and L-Mount users. Measuring just 66mm in diameter and 43.5mm in length, the lens weighs approximately 255g, making it one of the more compact full-frame 50mm f/1.4 lenses available. The lens features a traditional manual-focus design with a dedicated focus ring, a clicked aperture ring, and a built-in depth

credits: Panasonic Panasonic has released a new Firmware Version 2.0 update for four of its Lumix S lenses, bringing a small but useful change for photographers using the latest Lumix S cameras. The update is available for the Lumix S 14-28mm f/4-5.6 Macro, S 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3, S 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Macro OIS, and S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Macro OIS. Rather than improving image quality or autofocus performance, Panasonic is changing how the focus ring can be used. With the new firmwa
