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

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

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

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

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

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

credits: Adobe Adobe has rolled out the April 2026 updates for Photoshop and Lightroom, bringing Photoshop to version 27.6 and Lightroom to its latest desktop release, with a mix of AI tools, workflow changes, and performance improvements. A lot of the focus this time is on making everyday editing a bit quicker and less tedious, especially for photographers dealing with large files, layered edits, or big batches of images. In Photoshop, the Remove tool now has an improved “Fi

credits: Thypoch/Venus Optics There is a lot happening in the Chinese lens market right now, and it is not just about recent announcements. New reports suggest that, alongside Thypoch and Laowa (Venus Optics), two more Chinese manufacturers are preparing to release autofocus zoom lenses. There are no confirmed details yet, neither the brands nor the specs have been revealed, but the expectation is that these lenses could arrive later this year. To put that into context, this

credits: Thypoch Thypoch is starting to reveal more about its upcoming Voyager 24–50mm f/2.8, ahead of its official announcement on May 14. It is one of the company’s first autofocus zoom lenses, and from the specs so far, it looks pretty decent. On the technical side, the lens covers a 24–50mm focal range with a constant f/2.8 aperture, giving a field of view between 83° and 47°. The optical design uses 16 elements in 13 groups, which is fairly complex for a lens like this a

credits: Sigma Sigma just rolled out a firmware update for eight of its lenses, and it brings some fairly practical changes. The main addition is the ability to reassign the manual focus ring when the lens is set to autofocus. Normally, that ring just sits unused in AF mode, but now it can be mapped to things like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, white balance, or even autofocus mode. There is also an option to reverse the focus ring direction in manual fo

credits: Sony The upcoming Sony FE 100–400mm f/4.5 GM II is starting to take shape, with new reports and leaks adding a bit more clarity around its design and expected price. Nothing is official yet, but based on what sources are saying, this looks like a fairly substantial update over the current version, especially in how the lens is built and how it handles. One of the bigger changes is the switch to an internal zoom design, meaning the lens will not extend when zooming. T

credits: Oppo Oppo is bringing the new Find X9 Ultra to the global market and, according to the company, it is ‘the ultimate phone for mobile photographers’, with Hasselblad co-engineering the system. The phone uses a quad-camera setup, including a 50MP periscope telephoto with 10x optical zoom, two 200MP sensors, and a 50MP ultra-wide (14mm). The periscope module is one of the more interesting parts, using a five-prism system to bend the light path and keep the module relati
