credits: Samyang At the 2026 CP+ show, Samyang unveiled a new AF 35mm f/1.8 P FE full-frame lens designed as part of its compact Prima series. The lens closely follows the design of the existing AF 85mm f/1.8 P FE and AF 16mm f/2.8 P FE, keeping the same small form factor and straightforward design. In the United States and Europe, Samyang lenses are often sold under the Rokinon name, so the lens will likely show up under both brands depending on the market. The AF 35mm f/1.8

The film is designed to produce realistic colours that still feel ‘‘distinctly analog’’. According to Lomography, the stock delivers natural skin tones and warm colours that pop a bit more, while cooler tones like blues and greens stay more restrained. The camera itself looks

credits: Leica Leica appears to be preparing another addition to its SL lineup. Reports about a 44-megapixel SL camera have been circulating since late last year, and the latest rumours suggest the model will be called the Leica SL3-P. Of course, Leica naming has been known to change right before launch, something we have seen before with cameras like the M EV1, so the final name is not guaranteed yet. The “P” suffix is already familiar within Leica’s lineup. The Leica M11-P,

The lens first appeared for Sony E-mount back in 2019, and after several years it is finally being made available for photographers using Canon and Nikon’s mirrorless systems as well. Unlike many modern Voigtländer lenses that aim for maximum sharpness and highly corrected optics, the Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 is designe

credits: DxO DxO PureRAW 6 is here, and it is still very much focused on one specific job, cleaning up your RAW files before you bring them into Lightroom, Photoshop, or DxO PhotoLab. Rather than acting like a full editing suite, PureRAW sits at the very start of the workflow. It handles demosaicing, noise reduction, lens corrections, and sensor defect compensation first, so you are working with a technically optimised file before you start making creative decisions. DxO’s ar

credits: Sigma Sigma has officially announced the development of a new 85mm f/1.2 DG Art, a large-aperture medium-telephoto prime for full-frame mirrorless cameras. It joins Sigma’s growing lineup of f/1.2 lenses, including the 35mm f/1.2 DG II Art and the 50mm f/1.2 DG DN Art. With this addition, 85mm becomes the longest focal length in Sigma’s current f/1.2 series, a move that obviously targets portrait photographers who want the ultra-shallow depth of field look. Because t

credits: Canon At CP+ 2026 in Yokohama, Canon gave one of its clearest signals yet that a new compact camera is in development. In an interview, Go Tokura, Executive Vice President and Head of Canon’s Imaging Group, said today’s compact camera buyers aren’t the same customers Canon used to serve. According to him, the next compact will need to bring “new technologies or a new use case” to the table. That is more direct than what we usually hear from Canon, which tends to stic

credits: Schneider-Kreuznach x Samyang Just like they did at last year’s CP+ in Japan, Samyang and Schneider-Kreuznach used CP+ 2026 to show off another full-frame f/2.8 zoom. This time it is an AF 60–180mm f/2.8 for Sony E-mount and L-Mount. While full specifications have not been published yet, the lens was on display at the companies’ joint booth, giving visitors at least a physical look at what is coming. With this addition, the lineup now forms a slightly unusual but com

credits: Lomography Lomography has introduced the Fisheye No. 2 Rodeo Denim, a special 35mm film camera. The body is wrapped in denim with orange accents, but the real focus here is the 10mm fisheye lens, which delivers a full 170° field of view. That means you get circular photos with heavy barrel distortion, curved horizons, and exaggerated perspective. The lens can focus as close as 10 centimetres, ‘‘encouraging photographers to get extremely close to their subject’’ while

credits: Brightin Star Brightin Star used CP+ 2026 in Yokohama to unveil a new full-frame 50mm f/2 Tri-Sight prime lens, and the headline feature is a control ring that lets you switch between three distinct rendering modes, Smooth, Prime, and Foams. Smooth introduces a soft-focus, diffused look with lower contrast, Prime delivers a more conventional, balanced rendering, and Foams pushes the bokeh toward a brighter, bubble-like style. Like other lenses that adjust spherical a

credits: 7Artisans 7Artisans’ new AF 40mm f/2.5 FE lens is here. It is a compact full-frame prime designed to stay small enough that you barely notice it on the camera. The Sony E-mount version weighs about 90 grams and measures roughly 63 by 40 millimetres, putting it in pancake-style territory. The lens uses a lightweight plastic exterior and a 46mm filter thread. Optically, it consists of seven elements arranged in six groups and uses a nine-blade diaphragm, a configuratio

credits: Motion Horizons LLC Motion Horizons LLC has announced Bolt Hunter, a dedicated lightning trigger built specifically for storm photographers. The device is designed to do one thing well, reliably capture lightning in situations where typical triggers often fail. Instead of reacting only to sudden brightness spikes, Bolt Hunter analyses intracloud activity that can occur before visible lightning and measures the camera’s actual shutter lag, adjusting timing on the go.
