A rare en banc hearing could reshape copyright law as a photographer and tattoo artist return to court over a disputed tattoo based on a photograph. Meanwhile, Viltrox releases its second L-mount autofocus lens, the AF 28mm F4.5 "Chip", a tiny pancake lens ideal for compact cameras like the Lumix S9. The Sony a7R VI receives a review, praised for its impressive image quality but noted as not being an all-around sports camera. Also reviewed is the K&F Concept ND1,000,000 filter, a practical option for eclipse photography with mirrorless bodies. Watch for further developments in the copyright case and the growing L-mount lens ecosystem.
