Speculation surrounding the Canon EOS R7 II, a potential successor to the existing EOS R7 premium APS-C camera, has been a significant point of interest. However, recent reports indicate that the camera will not be released in 2026. Elsewhere, Harman Photo, the parent company of established monochrome film brands Ilford and Kentmere, introduced a new color film label in 2023. This initiative marks a significant effort to reinvent color film production from its foundational elements. Separately, 7Artisans has introduced a new 35mm f/2.8 lens designed for the century-old Leica Thread Mount (LTM).
