credits: Freewell Freewell has introduced a new support system called the Real Multi Tripod 5-in-1, designed to switch between several different configurations depending on how it is being used. The system can operate in Tripod Mode, two different Monopod Modes, Desktop Mode, and Trekking Pole Mode, essentially combining several types of supports into one piece of gear. The idea is simple enough, instead of carrying separate equipment, photographers can reconfigure the same t

credits: Sigma Sigma still doesn’t make lenses for Fujifilm’s medium-format GFX system, and based on recent comments from the company, that unfortunately won’t change anytime soon. With Canon RF and Nikon Z mounts largely closed to Sigma’s full-frame autofocus lenses, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the company look for opportunities elsewhere. One obvious option would be Fujifilm’s GFX mount, which uses a larger sensor than full-frame cameras. But according to Sigma CEO Kaz

credits: Adobe Adobe has brought its promised ‘agentic AI assistant’ to Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat. The first version is fairly limited for now and is currently available as a public beta in Photoshop on the web and mobile, but not on desktop yet. Still, it gives us an early look at how Adobe plans to bring more autonomous AI tools into the Creative Cloud. Inside Photoshop, the new AI Assistant lets you describe the edits you want using simple language. You can ask it to

credits: Canon A newly surfaced Canon patent shows some unusual catadioptric zoom lens designs, and it might offer a hint at how a very fast f/1.4 zoom lens for the RF system could be built without becoming extremely large. Recently there have been multiple reports that Canon is working on a constant f/1.4 zoom, which would fit into the broader trend of increasingly fast lenses. Even Fujifilm has been exploring extremely bright designs, recently floating concepts like a 33mm

credits: Manfrotto Manfrotto has expanded its ONE-series lineup with a new tripod called the ONE Photo, and unlike last year’s ONE Hybrid tripod, this one is meant specifically for photographers. According to Manfrotto, the tripod uses a redesigned structure with a non-rounded leg profile that improves torsional rigidity and overall stiffness. The idea is to provide better stability for high-resolution cameras and long exposures. The tripod incorporates Manfrotto’s XTEND mech

credits: Kase The previously reported Kase 150mm f/5.6 reflex autofocus lens is now officially here. What makes the lens interesting is that it combines a mirror (reflex) optical design with autofocus, something you do not see very often. It is launching for Sony E-mount and Canon EF mount, with the possibility of additional mounts later on. Another more unusual feature is the magnetic front ring, which allows filters and the lens cap to attach magnetically instead of relying

credits: Escura Escura has announced a small cube-shaped camera called Ligar and it is trying something a little different for film photographers. The device attaches to the hot shoe of a film camera and automatically takes a digital photo the moment the camera’s shutter is released. In other words, it captures a digital copy of the moment at the same time the film exposure is made. The idea is partly convenience and partly insurance, if something goes wrong with the film rol

credits: Venus Optics Venus Optics’ new Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D Tilt-Shift and Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D Shift ultra-wide lenses are here Both are designed for full-frame and medium-format mirrorless cameras and are meant for photographers who work with architecture, interiors, or landscapes where perspective control matters. While Canon and Nikon both produced tilt-shift lenses for their DSLR systems, neither company has introduced equivalent lenses for their mirrorless mounts. Th

credits: TTArtisan TTArtisan has expanded its tilt-shift lineup with the 17mm f/4 tilt-shift lens, which is now also available for Nikon Z, Canon RF, and L-mount cameras. The lens had previously been released for Sony E-mount and Fujifilm GFX systems, and this update simply brings the same design to a wider range of mirrorless mounts. With its ultra-wide 17mm focal length and tilt-shift functionality, it is meant for areas like architecture, interiors, and landscape photograp

credits: Canon A new rumour is causing excitement in the Canon community, suggesting the company could be working on a zoom lens with a constant f/1.4 aperture, possibly arriving as early as late 2026. The rumour site CanonRumors reports that there is “pretty good evidence” that such a lens exists. At this point, though, the details are still extremely limited. There is no confirmed focal length range yet, and there is also no information about pricing. The speculation appear

credits: Harman Technology Harman Technology has introduced a new experimental colour film called Switch Azure, and it does something a little unusual with how colours appear in the final photo. Instead of reproducing colours in the typical way, the film deliberately shifts them around. Blues can show up as orange, yellows may turn into bright azure tones, and reds can shift toward purple or blue. The idea is to create a very distinctive look straight from the film itself, wi

credits: Samyang (3D-printed mock up of 200mm) Samyang seems to have some fairly ambitious lens ideas lined up for the coming years. In a new interview with the French photography publication ‘Phototrend’, Samyang’s head of product planning, Kim Dubin, talked about several concepts the company is currently exploring. Samyang is already working with Schneider-Kreuznach on projects like the upcoming 60–180mm f/2.8 full-frame zoom, but it is also developing a number of lenses in
