LK Samyang has announced the AF 35mm F1.8 P FE, a new addition to its "Prima" series of lenses, which are designed to be accessible to people starting out in photography or videography.

The full-frame prime weighs 216g (7.6oz) and is around 72mm (2.8") long, making it noticeably lighter and smaller than the company's 35mm F1.4 Prima lens, which comes in at 470g (16.6oz) and 99mm (3.9"), respectively. The company says its larger lens is focused on "maximum brightness and high-end optical performance," while the F1.8 version "offers a lighter and more compact alternative optimized for everyday shooting." Features-wise, the lens is Spartan; its only controls are a focus ring and an AF/MF switch, though there's also a USB-C port on the bottom for firmware updates.

There's not a ton to the lens, but it has the basics, plus a few extras like weather sealing. The knurling on the focus ring also seems quite nice.

Samyang says the lens also features weather sealing, which should offer some peace of mind if you're out shooting and conditions deteriorate. The lens is threaded for 62mm filters.

The 35mm F1.8 P FE has 10 elements in 8 groups, with two aspherical lenses and two "XHR" (Extra High Refractive) elements. The company also says the lens has a coating to reduce flare and ghosting. It has a nine-bladed aperture.

The lens's autofocus system is powered by an STM motor, which the company says will provide quick, quiet focusing for both stills and video. It has a minimum focusing distance of 0.27m (10.6"), good for 0.19x magification.

While there's no shortage of autofocus 35mm F1.8 lenses for E-mount, it's still nice to see new ones hitting the market, especially since the previous Samyang/Rokinon offering has received relatively mixed reviews for autofocus performance.

The lens will be available for Sony E-mount cameras starting in "late March." While LK Samyang is a member of the L-Mount Alliance, there's no word on whether this lens will come to that mount. The company hasn't announced how much the lens will cost in the US, but its Korean website has it listed for 399,000 won, which is around $265.

Key Features

Compact and Lightweight Design : Made for Everyday Carry

The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE continues the Prima Series philosophy of compact and portable lens design.

With a maximum diameter of Φ69.8mm and a standard 62mm filter size, the lens integrates seamlessly into lightweight shooting setups and is easy to carry throughout the day.

Its compact form pairs particularly well with lightweight full-frame cameras such as the Sony α7C series and ZV-E models, making it an ideal everyday lens for travel, street photography, and hybrid content creation.

Bright F1.8 Aperture with Natural Bokeh : Balanced Performance for Photo and Video

The bright F1.8 aperture provides excellent flexibility across a wide range of lighting conditions, allowing creators to shoot confidently in both bright daylight and low-light environments.

A 9-blade rounded aperture produces smooth and natural background blur, enabling expressive subject separation for portraits, lifestyle photography, and cinematic video production.

This balance of brightness and portability makes the AF 35mm F1.8 P FE a practical lens for everyday creative work.

Next-Generation Optical Technology : XHR Element for Higher Performance

The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE features an advanced optical construction of 10 elements in 8 groups, including 2 ASP (Aspherical) elements and 2 newly developed XHR elements.

The XHR (Extra High Refractive) lens element is manufactured with higher precision compared to conventional high-refractive index elements, allowing for a more compact optical structure while effectively reducing optical aberrations.

By incorporating XHR elements, the lens achieves improved optical performance while maintaining a thinner and lighter design, delivering sharp resolution and consistent image quality across the entire frame.

Next-Generation Coating Technology : UMC II for Improved Image Clarity

The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE incorporates UMC II (Ultra Multi Coating II), the next generation of LK SAMYANG’s coating technology.

Compared to the previous coating system, UMC II further suppresses flare and ghosting, ensuring improved contrast and clarity even in challenging lighting environments such as strong backlight or night scenes.

This upgraded coating technology helps deliver cleaner and more vibrant images in real-world shooting conditions.

Fast and Quiet Autofocus : Linear STM II for Hybrid Creators

The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE is equipped with the next-generation Linear STM II autofocus motor.

Combined with continuously refined firmware algorithms, the Linear STM II system delivers faster, more accurate, and quieter autofocus performance, ensuring smooth focusing transitions for both still photography and video recording.

This improved autofocus system allows creators to capture dynamic scenes with greater precision and stability.

The lens features weather sealing, helping protect it from light rain, dust, and outdoor shooting conditions.

It also includes a USB-C port, enabling users to easily update firmware and customize lens settings directly without the need for a separate lens station.

This convenient connectivity ensures that users can keep their lens up to date while maintaining optimal performance.

Designed for Modern Creators

An LK SAMYANG representative commented:

“The Prima Series was created to offer lenses that creators reach for first. The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE reflects that philosophy by delivering a balanced combination of portability, optical performance, and everyday usability, making it an ideal lens for both photography and video creation.”

Availability

The LK SAMYANG AF 35mm F1.8 P FE will be available for purchase starting late March 2026, with sales gradually launching across global markets through LK SAMYANG’s distribution network and authorized retailers.

Floating Air cocoon pitches as lightest means of tent camping in trees

Gizmag news -

If there's a way to sleep between three trees, chances are pretty good Tentsile has explored it, if not launched a product for it. From hovering inflatables that double as rafts, to multi-story tree stacks, to in-air winter lodges, Tentsile has developed what might be the world's most singular lineup of hanging tents. One element that has held those tents back from more widespread adoption: weight. Pitching a tent above ground is fun, but lugging a big, 45-lb (20-kg) duffel bag of heavy canvas and ratchet straps through the forest is not. The new Air series tents debut as the lightest, breeziest Tentsiles ever, supporting ambitious tree-tenting adventures of all sizes.

Tamron: "We are moving toward simultaneous multi-mount lens launches" instead of Sony-first

Digital Photography Review news -

Tamron's booth at CP+ 2026 was decked out with a headline-grabbing Back to the Future display (complete with an actor dressed as Doc Brown). The theme extended to a wall showing some of the company's most significant lenses from the past.
Photo from video: Dale Baskin

"The most significant shift across the entire imaging landscape has undoubtedly been the mainstream adoption of AI-generated imagery," says Kei Nagai, the section manager of Tamron's Overseas Sales Department, when asked about the most important trend in imaging of the past year.

Out of all the companies we interviewed at the CP+ trade show this year, Tamron is one of the few to bring up that particular elephant in the room. But the company thinks the newfound popularity of computer-generated images could make real-world photography more relevant, not less.

"While it has become much easier to create an image that matches one’s specific intent, we believe this will change what people demand from photography," Nagai says. "While the importance of expressiveness and authenticity remains fundamental, we anticipate that the intrinsic value of the experience of taking a photograph – the act of capturing a moment yourself – will become even more significant than before."

It wasn't the only time AI came up in the interview, which covered a range of topics from the health of the overall market to how Tamron comes up with which focal ranges its zooms should cover.

An opportunity to grow

Asked to describe the overall health of the camera industry, Nagai says that the mirrorless camera and lens ecosystem has matured significantly, making it easier for people to find gear that matches their goals. Despite that maturation, Tamron still thinks it has room to grow.

"While CIPA forecasts suggest the overall market remains relatively flat, we see this as an opportunity to grow our share by continuing to introduce truly compelling and innovative products," says Nagai. He cites lenses like the 35-150mm F2-2.8 as options that give Tamron the opportunity to win in a certain niche.

Nagai says that taking on the risk of developing those kinds of lenses with non-traditional focal length ranges is at the heart of what the company does. "We believe that these challenges are our 'Significance of existence' – our very reason for being," he says.

Tamron's latest lens, the 35-100mm F2.8, is relatively small and lightweight for a fast zoom with its zoom range.

"By listening closely to user feedback and challenging ourselves with unique focal ranges, perhaps by slightly shifting a standard range or offering a faster aperture, we aim to provide lenses that strike a perfect balance between performance, size, and price in ways that traditional zoom ranges cannot."

While Tamron has seen a lot of success with its strategy of making "unique focal ranges," it'll be interesting to see if it'll face more competition in that field in the mid-term. As companies flesh out their mirrorless lineups and start branching out into more obscure or ambitious focal ranges (see: Sony's 50-150mm F2, which is a similar concept to Tamron's 35-150mm F2-2.8, though much more expensive), their lenses may seem less out there and more mainstream.

As for deciding whether to come out with new lenses that fill the gaps left by camera manufacturers' first-party lineups or bring existing designs to new mounts, Nagai says Tamron tries to do both.

"We are moving toward simultaneous multi-mount launches"

"In the past, we often expanded to other systems after launching the Sony E-mount. However, with recent releases like the 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 and the upcoming 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD, we are moving toward simultaneous multi-mount launches." He says the company believes "it is essential to take a holistic view of the entire market and existing lineups to carefully determine which spec and mounts to prioritize."

One potential area of growth that we didn't hear about was the possibility of adding new mounts to its repertoire. We asked if the success the company had seen with its APS-C lenses for Canon's RF system meant there was any possibility that we might see some of its full-frame options make it to the system, but Nagai says he can't offer any comment on that matter.

Balancing innovation and value Tamron's 70-180mm F2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 may miss out on 20mm compared to a traditional 70-200mm F2.8, but it's less than half the price of Sony, Nikon and Canon's flagship offerings.

As we've seen manufacturers start to release second-generation iterations of their mirrorless lenses, it hasn't been uncommon to see them come with higher price tags than their predecessors. While some of Tamron's G2 lenses have been slightly more expensive than the originals, they're still usually substantially cheaper than many of their peers. Nagai says the company "sets a target cost based on a comprehensive analysis of market conditions" for each lens.

"To achieve these targets, our optical design, mechanical design, and electronic R&D teams collaborate closely with our procurement department from the earliest stages," he says, which lets the company hit the price points it does.

Our improved AF performance is a direct result of our ability to control our VXD linear motors

Despite the focus on an "accessible" price tag, Nagai says the company has been able to find ways to improve autofocus and stabilization performance, including utilizing new types of autofocus motors. "Our improved AF performance is a direct result of our ability to control our VXD linear motors at a much higher level," he says, citing improved speed when running calculations and the ability to stop the motors faster.

He also says the company has continued to use AI, along with a variety of other methods and devices, to improve its stabilization systems. He says the 28-300mm F/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD has the latest iteration of the tech, adding: "We hope our users look forward to what we have in the pipeline." He also says the company will "continue to develop 'smart' features that allow users to customize their gear," as it did with the Tamron Lens Utility app and Link connector, which let you do things like execute focus pulls and adjust the response curves of your focus rings.

This article is based on an interview with Tamron at CP+ 2026, which was expanded via email to include more comprehensive detail. It has been edited for clarity and flow.

DPReview forums update: Direct messaging, search, and layout refinements based on your feedback

Digital Photography Review news -

The DPReview forums received an updated user interface in October. Since then, we've been working on tweaks and improvements based on your feedback.

Since the launch of a major forum upgrade late last year, we've been making tweaks and changes here and there as you've reported issues and suggested features.

Today, we've rolled out a major package of improvements specific to the forums, including visual enhancements, new direct message features, an improved search algorithm and more. Check out the notes below and let us know if you have any questions.

Style and Visibility
  • Added an option in your profile to remove avatars showing up on the left sidebar on certain pages, especially when viewing the forums on a mobile device.
  • On mobile devices, several UI elements were removed to prevent overcrowding. This includes limiting which EXIF data appears for an image. (This adjustment was made to prevent EXIF data from covering up too much of the image.)
  • Increased contrast between Unread vs Read alerts and direct message notifications, both in the dropdown and within the landing pages (additional work on this soon).
Direct Messages (aka Conversations)
  • Sticky (aka 'pin') a conversation at the top of your conversation list.
  • Hosts ('OP' of a conversation) can now remove participants from a conversation.
  • Improved view of who's in a conversation.
  • View who has left a conversation.
  • Delete a conversation with the ability to rejoin later if there are still users within it.
  • Auto-respond to new messages, such as sending a notice while on vacation.
  • Added a Labels function for admins and moderators to establish universal categories for your conversations.
  • Select multiple conversations to sticky or take other actions as offered.
  • Set an "on vacation" type auto-response to new messages received.
Alerts/Notifications
  • Unread alerts are sorted to the top of the drop-down menu.
  • Per-alert 'mark read' links on each alert.
  • Multi-select ability to mark alerts as read or unread.
  • Option to prevent marking messages as read when accessing the alerts pop-up.
  • Option to prevent summarization when accessing /accounts/alerts page.
    • Option to adjust summarization threshold
  • Only mark alerts that are viewed on alert page/alert pop-up, not all alerts
    • Per-alert 'alert bell reads' configuration
  • Direct message alerts now have a hover preview of the message contents
Forum Search
  • Added option to search by user for threads they start (not posts within a thread)
  • Thread pagination now shows under the original thread start as well as at the end for most thread types (except the general, which we're working on implementing).
    • Keeps the original thread starter post at the top
  • Allow users to select the default search order independent of the forum-wide setting
    • Re-adds the global option for the default search type
  • Display search terms on the search results page
  • Add "Search only X" search criteria, where X is thread/conversation/ticket/etc. instead of searching thread/post etc.
  • Option to extend search syntax to permit;
    • + signifies AND operation
    • | signifies OR operation
    • - negates a single token
    • " wraps a number of tokens to signify a phrase for searching
    • * at the end of a term signifies a prefix query
    • ( and ) signify precedence
    • ~N after a word signifies edit distance (fuzziness)
    • ~N after a phrase signifies slop amount
    • In order to search for any of these special characters, they will need to be escaped with \.
Other Improvements A new 'Reply' button was added to the post interface to make responding to posts more efficient.
  • Added a 'Reply' button to each post in a thread (next to the 'Quote Reply' button) to offer another way to quickly access the reply editor.
  • Removed 'Public Profile Posts' profile menu option (It was not being used, and could be confused for private message use. Possible new use for it someday.)

Let us know if you experience any issues with these changes, or have any questions.

Related, we are still working on removing the dropdown Read references, so you only see Unread notifications come up in this space. Similar contrast and other readability improvements are still on the list to adjust as well. And we are hoping to make adjustments to main website areas that link to or use the forums in various ways. This includes resolving page errors associated with user review creation and similar product page links.

Visit the forum announcement to discuss these changes with our community.

Stealthy, rugged camper wagons remain among the cheapest money can buy

Gizmag news -

An "extreme" hard-sided 4x4 camper rig for under £30,000? That's exactly what Dacia launched a few years ago in adding an overnight "Sleep Pack" to its venerable Duster and Jogger utility vehicles. Now the Romanian badge expands its in-vehicle camping series out to new vehicles and new components. The result is an even more impressive family of rugged, low-profile micro-RVs that cost well less than the typical on- or off-road camping rig.

Panasonic's new compact is a familiar travelzoom but with a crucial feature missing

Digital Photography Review news -

When you use DPReview links to buy products, the site may earn a commission. Image: Panasonic

Panasonic has announced the Lumix DC-ZS300, which will be known as the TZ300 in other markets. It's a pocketable compact with a 15x, 24-360mm equiv zoom lens in front of a Type 1 (13.2 x 8.8mm) BSI CMOS sensor. But, unlike its predecessor, there's no viewfinder if your travel takes you to sunnier climes.

For those who have memorized Panasonic's compact lineup, the specs set out in the company's press release will be very reminiscent of its ZS200 / TZ200, announced in February 2018. Other than the absent viewfinder, the other significant change is the adoption of the newer USB-C socket. The actual interface is likely to be the same as before as, like the previous model, the ZS300 can be charged, but not powered, over USB.

The ZS300 has a zoom covering an impressive 24-360mm equivalent range. Its maximum aperture drops from F3.3 at the wide end to F6.4 by its full reach. The Type 1 sensor means there's a 2.72x crop factor at play.

The ZS300's Macro mode can focus down as close as 3cm (1.2") at its widest focal length, but this increases to 100cm (39.4") at the long end of the lens. Based on what we've been shown and told, it's likely to retain the fixed 1840K dot (960 x 640 px) fixed rear screen from the mid-life ZS200D update, along with a small pop-up flash.

We wonder whether Panasonic has found it difficult to source the field-sequential viewfinder panels used in older models, but still think a travel zoom will be limited by the absence of any sort of viewfinder.

Image: Panasonic

Focusing on the positives, though: the announcement of the ZS300 as a new model suggests you might actually be able to buy one. The deletion of the viewfinder means that, unlike the more EU-compliance updated G97 model, its price has only gone up by a relatively modest $100 in the eight years since the Micro-B USB version was launched.

We're still awaiting full specs and availability information, but we're told the ZS300 will be available in silver or black variants for $899, ex tax.
