Instead of exposing a full 35 × 24mm frame with each shot, the new camera captures a vertically oriented 17 × 24mm half-frame image. The main benefit being that you can squeeze twice as many photos out of a single roll of film. The camera comes preloaded with enough film for 40 hal

According to Meike, the lens has been redesigned to better match today’s high-resolution cameras, now capable of resolving sensors up to 67MP and ready for workflows reaching 10K resolution. It also features a new APO optical design that is intended to reduce chromatic aberration and improve colour accuracy

The app supports the X2D II 100C, X2D 100C, 907X, and CFV 100C, giving photographers a way to review, edit, organize, and export photos directly from an Android device.

That lens has now been fully revealed ahead of its August launch. Designed for Leica M-mount cameras, it combines a compact telephoto design with relatively close focusing for a rangefinder lens. Measuring 53mm in diameter, 54.8mm in length, and weighing 235g, it is small enough to avoid blocking

credits: Tamron Tamron’s 12-20mm f/2.8 lens for Sony E and Nikon Z full-frame mirrorless cameras is here. Not only is this a brand-new ultra-wide zoom, but the lens also marks the start of a refreshed branding approach for the company. Gone are the long product names like “Di III VXD,” with Tamron instead going for the much simpler Tamron 12-20mm f/2.8. The lens also arrives with a redesigned exterior, featuring updated control ring textures, a darker matte finish, and a stro

The feature first arrived on the desktop version of Capture One in late May, and after lots of requests from photographers, it is now available on mobile as part of Capture One Mobile 3.4.0. According to Capture One,

credits: Fujifilm It has been a relatively quiet year for Fujifilm so far, with most of the company’s launches focusing on the Instax lineup. That looks set to change soon, as sources now point to the first week of September 2026 for the official unveiling of the brand new Fujifilm X-T6. Beyond replacing the popular X-T5, the new camera is also expected to introduce Fujifilm’s next generation of APS-C hardware, which will likely form the basis for many future X-series models.

The company is now expanding its latest photography-focused flagship phones internationally, bringing the Pura 90s Pro Max and Pura 90s Pro to Europe. Interestingly, the phones are sold simply as the Pura 90 Pro Max and Pura 90 Pro in China, with Huawei adding the “s” only to the glo

Sources suggest the camera is expected to be announced in early September, although Canon has yet to confirm any specific details. If the latest rumours are accurate, the EOS R8 Mark II will feature a 32.5-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and, perhaps more importantly, add in-body image stabilisation, something many photograph

The goal is to reduce the number of separate apps

credits: SongRaw SongRaw’s new AF 85mm f/1.2 MS “Youth Edition” is here. It is a full-frame autofocus portrait lens for Sony E and Nikon Z mounts, and despite the “Youth Edition” name, it is not a stripped-down budget lens. Instead, it is a slightly more affordable addition to the company’s lineup while still offering features such as a bright f/1.2 aperture, weather sealing, and a body made from aviation-grade aluminium. Optically, the lens uses an 18-element, 10-group optic

credits: Panasonic A newly published Panasonic patent suggests the company could be working on a much more compact macro lens, one that retracts when it is not in use to make it easier to carry around. The patent, P2026104790, describes a lens with a control ring that switches between three different positions. A fully retracted transport mode, a standard shooting mode, and an extended macro mode. As is always the case with patents, there is no guarantee this will ever become

That is now changing, as Reflx Lab has announced two new 110 film stocks, giving photographers another option for the cartridge-based format. The new releases include Fortuna C200color negative film and 100R Color Reversal slide film, with Reflx Lab also saying that more premium 110 films are alre

The pancake lens is now expected to arrive later this month for Sony E and Nikon Z mounts, with an L-Mount version expected to follow a few months later. Alongside the AF 26mm f/2.8 EVO, Viltrox has already introduced the AF 28mm f/4.5 for L-Mount and has several other lenses in the pipeline. The 26mm f/2.8 EVO is des

credits: Nikon Nikon could be bringing back its canceled DL compact camera series, according to a new rumour floating around the internet. The rumour is based on a single source and has not yet been confirmed in any way, so it is worth taking with a healthy dose of skepticism. If accurate, though, it would mark the return of a camera lineup that Nikon originally announced back in 2016, only to cancel before it ever reached store shelves. According to the rumour, the new camer

It is also pretty compact, although it does not quite reach full pancake proportions. On the inside, the lens has a 7-element, 5-group optical design, including three high-refractive-index elements th

Funny enough, the update was actually first released around June 20, but Adobe pulled it shortly afterward after discovering a data-loss bug linked to the new Duplicates feature. Now, the company released Version 15.4.1, which fixes that issue. One of the biggest additions is
