Adobe announced that it is acquiring Topaz Labs, the company behind popular AI-powered image and video enhancement tools:
SAN JOSE, Calif. —June 25, 2026 — Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) — the global technology leader that unleashes creativity, productivity and customer experiences through innovative tools and platforms — today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Topaz Labs, an AI company specializing in industry-leading video and image enhancement models.
Adobe empowers everyone from first-time creators to creative professionals and enterprises with groundbreaking AI tools and technology across every stage of the creative process. Adobe’s creative AI portfolio brings together industry-leading AI models in Adobe Firefly the all-in-one creative AI studio, and Adobe Creative Cloud applications including Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere and more, delivering creative professionals pixel-level control and precision tooling.
As AI rapidly reshapes video and image creation, creatives are increasingly working across hybrid workflows that combine traditionally captured footage with AI-generated content, and they are expected to deliver high-quality results across a growing range of formats, devices and production methods. Topaz Labs provides a broad array of advanced AI models for video and image enhancement that analyze and improve existing visual content by sharpening detail, removing noise, restoring footage and increasing resolution, making them essential for any workflow that combines real-world capture with AI-generated imagery.
Topaz Labs develops professional quality AI video and image enhancement models and tools that are trusted by creative professionals such as Asteria Film Co, award-winning filmmaker Robert Stone and enterprises to deliver exceptional fidelity and high-quality results across professional filmmaking, documentary restoration, social content creation, photography and archival workflows. The company has developed proprietary AI models to support professional video use cases such as upscaling, sharpening, stabilization, frame interpolation, noise removal, footage restoration and more.
“Adobe Firefly, Firefly Services and Creative Cloud offer the industry’s best creative tooling and top AI models for creators and brands, and we’re excited to build on the strong demand for these products with Topaz Labs,” said David Wadhwani, President, Creativity & Productivity Business, Adobe. “Creators are creating more content by mixing captured and generated images and video, and with Topaz Labs we will give every creator the quality and control to easily produce that content at higher quality and resolution.”
“Building technology to make images and videos look their absolute best has been our life’s work for more than twenty years,” said Eric Yang, CEO of Topaz Labs. “We’ve always believed that technology should serve human creativity rather than replace it — and so has Adobe. Together, we believe we can dramatically expand what’s possible for filmmakers and creators everywhere.”
With Topaz Labs, Adobe will expand its video and image model offerings with state-of-the-art AI enhancement models in Adobe Firefly, Firefly Services and Creative Cloud apps, giving creators, designers, video professionals, photographers and enterprises the tools to achieve exceptional quality across every format and workflow. With millions of customers, Topaz Labs and its Emmy Award-winning AI technology will be integrated across Adobe’s creative AI portfolio, giving creatives the ability to enhance footage, restore and remaster archival content, and blend AI-generated and traditionally captured content into seamless final productions. Topaz Labs will also bring its proprietary Neurostream technology that enables large, complex AI models to run locally on consumer devices, democratizing advanced image and video models previously limited to high-end systems or cloud-only usage and positioning Adobe to tap into the growing opportunity for efficient, on-device AI video.
After the transaction closes, Topaz Labs customers of all sizes can expect continued support and investment in future innovation and Topaz Labs products will remain available as standalone offerings through the company’s website. Upon close, Topaz Labs CEO Eric Yang will continue to lead the Topaz Labs team.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

The previously reported Schneider Kreuznach × LK Samyang AF 60-180mm f/2.8 FE lens is now officially announced:
Key Message
July 02, 2026 – South Korea, LK SAMYANG, a global optical specialist, announces the upcoming launch of the AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE, developed in collaboration with Schneider-Kreuznach, scheduled for release this July.
As camera and lens performance continues to advance, the burden of heavier gear has also increased. Carrying multiple lenses to cover a wide focal range remains a challenge for creators. LK SAMYANG set out to rethink this balance with a simple question: “What if you could carry less, capture more, without compromising performance?”. This philosophy led to the development of the “Compact Zoom Series” in collaboration with Schneider-Kreuznach aimed at redefining the balance between performance and portability. The new AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE further extends this vision.
Together with the AF 14-24mm F2.8 FE (445g) and AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE (494g), the new lens
completes a truly lightweight zoom system, covering the entire focal range from 14mm to 180mm using just three lenses. Each lens in the series reflects LK SAMYANG’s consistent design philosophy delivering compact size, reduced weight, and practical usability without compromise.
Key Features
A New Standard in Lightweight Telephoto Zoom: Only 730g
The AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE weighs 730g and features a compact length of 149mm (wide) / 174.4mm (tele), offering exceptional portability within the F2.8 telephoto zoom category. Compared to traditional 70-200mm lenses, its significantly lighter design reduces fatigue during extended shooting sessions and enhances mobility in dynamic environments.
Constant F2.8 with Enhanced Close-Up Capability
With a constant F2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, the lens ensures stable performance in low-light conditions and delivers smooth background separation, making it ideal for portrait photography. It also offers a maximum magnification of 0.26x (1:3.80), enabling detailed close-up shots and expanding creative possibilities across various shooting scenarios.
Compact Zoom Series, Co-Engineered with Schneider-Kreuznach
Developed in collaboration with Schneider-Kreuznach, the AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE embodies the core philosophy of the Compact Zoom Series, balancing optical performance and portability. The advanced optical design consists of 17 elements in 14 groups (including 1 HR, 7 ED, and 2 ASP elements), effectively minimizing aberrations while delivering sharp and clear images. A floating focus system ensures consistent image quality across the entire focus range.
Designed for Real-World Use
Equipped with a Linear Stepping Motor, the lens delivers fast and precise autofocus, making it suitable for both photography and video applications. Weather sealing enhances durability across various environments, while intuitive controls such as the AF/MF switch improve usability. In addition, the Zoom Lock function prevents unwanted zoom extension (zoom creep) during movement, keeping the lens securely in place. This ensures stable handling and a consistent user experience from transport to shooting.
Lightweight Coverage from 14mm to 180mm
The AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE expands the design philosophy of the Compact Zoom Series, enabling creators to cover a wide focal range with minimal weight. With three lenses weighing approximately 445g, 494g, and 730g, users can achieve seamless coverage from 14mm to 180mm while maintaining exceptional portability.

The Singapore-based activist fund Effissimo Capital Management has quietly become Tamron’s top shareholder, surpassing longtime holder Sony Group Corporation:
According to EDINET filings and Japanese reports, Effissimo Capital Management has increased its stake to 17.38% (29,691,800 shares) as of late March 2026. Sony remains at 15.35% (25,038,000 shares, unchanged from the end of 2025). Tamron’s official IR page still shows the year-end figures, but large-shareholding reports confirm Effissimo has crossed ahead:
| Shareholder | Stake | Shares |
|---|---|---|
| Effissimo Capital Management (ECM) | 17.38% | 29,691,800 |
| Sony Group Corporation | 15.35% | 25,038,000 |
| Master Trust Bank of Japan (trust) | ~10.3% | — |
Effissimo has steadily built its position over the past year (from ~10.8% in late 2025), filing multiple increases. Here is the recent Effissimo accumulation path (approximate, from filings):
Effissimo is a Singapore-based activist investor known for its stakes in Japanese companies such as Nissan and Toshiba. Sony’s stake has remained static at the year-end figure. Tamron executed a 4-for-1 stock split in July 2025, but the percentages above reflect the current post-split reality in recent reports.

I have been very skeptical about the previously reported Viltrox camera rumors and rightfully so – here are the first leaked pictures of the Viltrox 1839 Toy Camera:

This adorable little yellow plastic toy camera features a fixed lens, a simple viewfinder, and a retro-striped design with a prominent “1839” marking and a “Vision To Xplore” tagline. Clearly, this is not the interchangeable-lens mirrorless body that has been rumored for months with wild speculations, including possible Nikon Z-mount compatibility:
