credits: Zeniko Zeniko has announced the ZA12, a small retro-style flash built to work with essentially any camera that uses a standard hot shoe, including Fujifilm, Sony, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, and others. Since it relies on a single-contact trigger rather than system-specific TTL pins, it operates purely in manual or classic auto modes. Inside is a 300mAh Li-ion battery charged over USB-C, and the unit is rated for roughly 400 full-power flashes per charge. Full-power recyc

credits: Viltrox Nikon Z photographers now have another 85mm option, as Viltrox has brought its AF 85mm f/1.4 Pro design over from the Sony E-mount lineup. The new lens keeps the same optical layout as the E-mount model with 15 elements in 11 groups, including extra-low dispersion and high-refractive elements, along with an 11-blade aperture. The optical formula is designed to control axial chromatic aberration and maintain sharpness across the frame, while the aperture geome

credits: Ulanzi Ulanzi has announced a new FALCAM “Native Guardian” camera cage designed specifically for the Hasselblad X2D and X2D II. The cage is built from 6061 aluminium with a hard-anodised finish, and Ulanzi says the oxide layer is about three times thicker than what is typically used on camera cages, which should give it noticeably better scratch resistance. The frame includes screen-protection strips to keep the rear display from touching surfaces when the camera is

credits: Leica With 2025 winding down, the photography rumour mill is starting to settle into a clearer picture of what is still coming this year. One of the most likely announcements is the Leica Q3 Monochrom, expected to debut on November 20, 2025, according to multiple reports. As the name suggests, it will be a monochrome-only sibling to the existing Q3, using a true black-and-white sensor but sticking with the Q3’s familiar 28mm lens rather than the 43mm glass found on t

credits: Nexstorage Nextorage just announced a new and exciting CFexpress card, the B2 Pro+. It is the first ever memory card that is officially certified for both VPG400 and VPG1600 at the same time. VPG (Video Performance Guarantee) is a way of confirming that a card can maintain a specific sustained write speed under strict testing. Cameras rely on these certifications to avoid dropped frames or recording shutdowns during heavy video modes like high-frame-rate 4K or 8K. Th

credits: Cosina Cosina Voigtländer is bringing its APO-Lanthar 28mm f/2 Aspherical lens to Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount, following the earlier Leica M-mount release. The new versions keep the same optical setup, 12 elements in eight groups, including six anomalous partial-dispersion elements and two double-sided asphericals. There is also a floating focus system to keep things sharp across the frame, and the lens is still designed to keep axial chromatic aberration as low a

credits: SanDisk SanDisk’s latest release is the Extreme Fit 1TB USB-C Flash Drive, a storage device that stands out mostly because of how small it is. It is being marketed as a “plug and stay” drive, essentially something you plug into a laptop and then forget about, and its size makes that a realistic use case. Before getting into what the drive offers, it is worth remembering that SanDisk is still dealing with the reputation damage from its portable SSD failures over the l

credits: Meike Meike has rolled out an updated version of its budget portrait prime, the 85mm f/1.8 SE II, a full-frame autofocus lens now available for Sony E, L-Mount, and Nikon Z. It replaces the original AF 85mm f/1.8 from 2022 and continues a line that actually goes back to Meike’s first autofocus lens in 2018, which was an 85mm for Canon DSLRs. This new version keeps the same general idea as earlier models but brings a handful of practical upgrades that should make it a

credits: 7Artisans 7Artisans’ previously rumoured AF 10mm f/2.8 lens for APS-C cameras is here, launching first for Sony E and Fujifilm X mounts. As an ultra-wide 10mm prime (105.3° field of view), the lens is built around an 11-element, 10-group optical design that includes specialised elements to keep distortion and edge softness under control. It offers an aperture range from f/2.8 to f/16 and uses a 7-blade diaphragm that can create a 14-point sunstar when you stop it dow

credits: OWC OWC has introduced the StudioStack, an expansion unit that sits on top of the Mac Studio and adds a boost in storage and ports without taking up any extra desk space. Inside, it can hold both an NVMe M.2 2280 SSD (up to 8TB for now) and a 3.5-inch SATA hard drive up to 24TB, giving you as much as 32TB of extra room to work with. The NVMe slot is also ready for larger drives once 16TB models eventually hit the market. This setup makes it easier to split fast proje

credits: Llano Llano has introduced the CS2 Pro 4-in-1 Camera Battery Charger, a compact charging and storage hub for photographers that travel a lot and want to keep their gear simple and organised. It is designed to handle a few different jobs at once, namely charging batteries, working as a power bank, reading memory cards, and storing small accessories. The kit includes two 2600mAh Aurora batteries, a 10,400mAh built-in power bank, a 20W USB-C fast charger, and a USB 3.0

credits: AstrHori AstrHori’s new 9mm f/2.8 APS-C lens is finally here. It is a fully manual ultra-wide lens for mirrorless systems including Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and Micro Four Thirds. With a 13.5mm full-frame equivalent focal length, it delivers a 111.4° angle of view, making it ideal for interiors, landscapes and cities. The lens has an all-metal build with a built-in petal-shaped hood to help reduce flare and protect the front element. It has a 62mm filte
