It's rare to see Canon and Nikon release lenses at exactly the same time, but it's downright unheard of to see both lenses be one-of-a-kind. That's exactly what happened this week, and the PetaPixel Podcast team shares their thoughts. [Read More]

I’m an outlier in the photo world, especially regarding glass. I dislike the 35mm focal length, and as much as I love a good 24mm lens, a 28mm lens is even better. Maybe this is why I immediately gravitated to the quirky Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 zoom when it first came out.
In an unusual move, Canon says that it will announce five new "hybrid" L-series lenses for its RF mirrorless cameras on October 30. Based on the teaser image provided, the lenses are designed similarly to the 24-105mm f/2.
Most photographers probably don't think Hasselblad makes zoom lenses. In a sea of primes, the company makes the general-purpose 35-75mm lens and even the older H-mount system only has a couple.
Sigma announced the 28-105mm f/2.8 DG DN Art lens for Sony E and Leica L mount systems. It combines the speed of the much loved 24-70mm f/2.8 lens type with the more versatile focal range of the 24-105mm f/4 in one, sacrificing a bit of range at the wide end to maintain the f/2.8 aperture.

Tamron has announced the 28-300mm f/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD (Model A074), a new all-in-one zoom lens for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. [Read More]
According to patent documents filed in Japan, Tamron is working on a fast lens with a huge zoom range. The proposed 50-200mm f/2.8 would be the first of its kind, offering a massive range with no cost to light gathering capability pro-level 70-200mm lenses provide. [Read More]
Sigma introduced the world's first full-frame, mirrorless, f/1.8 lens: the 28-45mm f/1.8 Art. But if no one has ever made a lens like this before, do we even need it? Let's look at the facts with this rather odd entry and see if it's a hidden gem or a mad science experiment. [Read More]
