TTArtisan has introduced a new full-format 50mm F1.4 lens priced at $235, primarily designed for mirrorless cameras.

Venus Optics has announced improvements to the Laowa 7.5mm f/2 lens with Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount. The enhancement consists of electronic aperture control and a built-in chip to transfer metadata from the lens to the camera.

Olympus has expanded its Micro Four Thirds Pro Series lens lineup with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm f/4 Pro. This lens has a 16-50mm range when converted to 35mm film. The M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm f/4 Pro features a range of special elements, including a "DSA" (Dual Super Aspherical) element to reduce sagittal flare or comatic aberration. A special "ZERO" coating helps prevent flare and ghosting.

Nikon has unveiled a new remote shooting application it calls NX Field. The app is aimed at professional photographers and videographers. The app allows synchronization of multiple Nikon DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. With NX Field, it is supposed to be easy to control and set up connected cameras and automatically upload captured images to an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server.
