"Let's start by talking about the name: Rollei 35AF. The "AF" in the name stands for AUTO FOCUS, a feature that takes this legendary camera to new heights.
We believe that classics are meant to be cherished, and our mission is to preserve the essence of this iconic camera while incorporating new features that enhance its capabilities without compromising its unique charm. With the added AF and other features, capturing stunning analog film pictures becomes effortless, quick, and incredibly precise.
Of course, the Rollei 35AF retains the beloved features that have made it a favorite among photography enthusiasts. It comes with a full metal body, 5-element all glass lens with coating on every side, and exposure controls.
But that's not all.We've also included a built-in light meter and AUTO modes, allowing you to focus entirely on the things in front of you, the composition before your eyes, and concentrate on deciding what to capture on a rectangular 35mm film canvas while seizing that split-second decisive moment that leaves viewers impressed."

IDS Works (Initial Design Studio) is a very popular third-party accessories manufacturer for Leica cameras (see their products here). For the first time, they decided to create an accessory for a camera different than Leica - meet the new IDSworks grip for the new Fuji X100VI:
Six different grip pad options are available to order - see the order page configuration tool. The grip comes with internal SD card storage and has no blockage to the battery access door:
IDS grip for Fuji X100VI camera features:
Introducing our latest addition to the Fuji camera lineup, the X100VI, designed with the same precision and quality as our renowned Leica M and Q series cameras.
We have not implement similar curved opening at the bottom to cut down machine time by half and use a rather common straight opening approach to cut CNC time and reduce cost.
X100VI is a little bit too short causing small finger have no place to grip for many with an average size hand. We decided to increase the height just a little for better grip and maintain a visual proportion between the top and bottom part. We have also include a strap anchor on the grip side for those who prefer attaching a Peak Design strap anchor. The position of the grip pad is placed in a position where your middle finger can easily access the front dial yet not be able to accidently trigger it.
Note: we have a full introduction on why our grip pad shape is unique and how to hold it properly in the "design concept --> back to the basic" section. Please do read it or watch that video, as many did not realize it is very different from holding other similar products. There are some useful tips as well.
Redefining perfect fit
Our grip base design for this camera has a perfect fit after many mockup. We surrounded the bottom of the camera at a height of 1.5mm with inner curvature that wraps the bottom rim perfectly and it sit flush with the camera fully.
Aside from cosmetic concerns, this grip is also add functions by providing
1. On grip ARCA dove tail for quick tripod mounting
2. Inner vertical metal support with vertical sunk in structure grip pad mounting rods providing rigidity. Grip pads only provides comfort with no stress on carry the load of the camera.
3. Internal spare SD card storage
4. grip side wrist strap lugs
5. Battery door access
6. No audio blockage
Base Plate Selection
There are two base colors (Silver and black) to match with the camera body and 6 different grip pad selections for your preference.
During our development, we perfected our anodizing process to achieve this matte finish by carefully selecting materials, controlling temperatures, and using specific chemical mix in production. The result is a finish that resembles the iconic look of a modern Leica M camera finish. Our anodizing factory charge us by sets, unlike other that charges on total kilogram of products to be anodized.
Grip pad selections
To match your style we have the following 6 grip pad for your selection
Bottom Left: Glass fiber composite (G10)
This is a new material we created for two purpose. Many customers likes black but before we only have African black wood and black aluminum. Some found wood rather “old school" and forced to select black matt aluminum but aluminum grip pad is heavy (25g) so we have now this Fiber glass composite for your selection at only 11 grams. It is light, sturdy and have a grid patten on it. This material is commonly use on knife handles.
Top Left: Walnut (5g)
This wood is very light (5g) but it is indeed softer because of its density.
Top Middle: Desert iron wood from Africa (11g)
This wood has better color then Walnut and almost the same density as the African black wood.
Bottom Middle: African Black wood (11g)
This wood has a high density and also beautiful wood grain.
Top Right: Metallic gray aluminum (25g)
Milled on 3 axial CNC and anodized with a metallic gray finish
Bottom right: black aluminum (25g)
Milled on 3 axial CNC and anodized with a matt black finish
The weight of the bottom plate + supporting aluminum rod + aluminum screw with same bottom plate finish (47g)

The previously leaked Insta360 X4 camera is now officially announced with 8k 360-degree video, resolution increase, removable lens guard, and more:
Insta360 is excited to announce its new, groundbreaking flagship camera: Insta360 X4. Much-anticipated 8K 360° video, plus 5.7K60fps and 4K100fps, add unparalleled image quality to the endless creative possibilities of 360° capture, including the ability to "shoot first, point later" and the Invisible Selfie Stick effect. X4 also doubles as a traditional action cam, with its Single-Lens Mode now upgraded to smooth, ultra-wide 4K60fps.
This premium imaging arsenal is supported by a powerful 5nm AI chip, a smart control system with features such as Voice and Gesture Control, and vastly improved battery performance with a 135-minute run time. A host of AI-powered shooting and editing features make it easy to capture and share unique, creative shots. New, removable lens guards for X4 will also be a very welcome addition, providing convenient, robust protection and peace of mind.
All of this in a tough, pocket-sized device makes X4 the new, essential tool for action enthusiasts, casual creators, and professionals alike.
“8K will be transformative for creators as reframed video now holds its own alongside footage shot on regular cameras. But X4 isn't just about image quality, it's designed to be the most robust, easy-to-use 360° camera ever, no matter your experience. This idea was at the heart of a lot of the changes we made," JK Liu, founder of Insta360 explained.
It's finally here! 8K30fps is our highest resolution ever for a 360° action cam and it looks incredible! With 360° video, creators can choose any angle after filming (known as reframing), like going back in time and pointing the camera! This makes X4's 8K resolution a real game-changer because the footage remains incredibly detailed and sharp, even after reframing– perfect as high-quality, standalone clips or for seamless integration into any edit.
And the upgrades don't stop there. For action shots or slow motion, 60fps 360° video is now available at 5.7K for smoother, sharper images. There's also a new 4K100fps setting for glorious, cinematic shots at 4x slow-mo.
Whatever the resolution or frame rate, 360° shooting with X4 offers unique benefits like the Invisible Selfie Stick effect, creating impossible third-person views that look like they were shot on a drone or with a personal camera crew! That extends to photos too, with X4 capable of 72MP 360° photos, now with built-in AI denoising.
With Me Mode, X4 can even automatically frame the subject in the shot, while keeping the selfie stick invisible. Now at a whopping 4K30fps (up from 1080p with X3) or 2.7K120fps, that means ready-to-share flat video clips with zero reframing!
Get two cameras in one.
That's right! X4 doubles as both a 360° camera and a regular wide-angle action cam. When you know exactly what you want to shoot, like a first-person POV from a chest-mounted position, simply switch to Single-Lens Mode for an immersive, wide-angle video.
This has been souped up for X4 with super smooth 4K60fps, and an ultra wide 170° view with MaxView at an upgraded 4K30fps.
X4 doesn't just withstand the rough and tumble of adventure, it embraces it! How's this for some action credentials?
No matter what you're into, X4 makes it simpler than ever to capture incredible footage!
Got the camera mounted out of reach? No problem! Use hand gestures to start/stop shooting or take a photo (known as Gesture Control), or use voice commands courtesy of Voice Control 2.0.
Timed Capture lets you schedule X4 to power on, record, and shut itself off automatically. Perfect for capturing a sunrise without having to wake up!
X4's creative shooting modes have also had some major upgrades:
Other fun tools to try with X4 include the Motion ND effect, for adding cinematic motion blur without an ND filter. For runners and riders, try overlaying data like GPS, speed, and power from your Garmin device or Apple Watch in your video, with a choice of interactive stats dashboards (applied in the Insta360 app).
The Insta360 editing suite has options for creators of all levels, from one-tap, zero-effort AI edits, to fully customized manual editing.
Reframing in the Insta360 app has two upgraded options. With Quick Edit (formerly known as Snap Wizard), simply move your phone or use the virtual joystick to point the camera. Editing your 360° video is now easier than playing a video game and just as fun! The reframed clips are immediately saved and ready to share!
For a fully hands-off approach, try AI Edit. Insta360's algorithm handles the entire reframing process, now faster with improved subject detection. The Insta360 app also has Shot Lab, where creators can find 30+ viral-worthy effects that can be edited in just a few taps.
For creators who prefer a desktop workflow, the recently updated Insta360 Studio is a highly flexible editing tool for seriously clean, ready-to-share edits at maximized resolution, compatible with both 360° footage and regular flat images.
Both the mobile app and desktop software are also free to use, no subscription required!
Besides this, Insta360 has just launched Insta360 Reframe, their own plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro! Creators can reframe 360° files shot on X4 directly in Premiere Pro for a smoother workflow with minimal exporting and maximum image quality.

Leica D-Lux 7 camera
Leica is rumored to announce a new Leica D-Lux 8 camera this summer. The interesting rumor here is that the D-Lux 8 will be sold only by Leica and there will not be an equivalent Panasonic LX100 camera. This explains why the new D-Lux 8 is labeled as Type 3952A (the D-Lux 7 was Type 3952).
The Leica D-Lux 8 will not have an APS-C sensor and a fixed prime lens (obviously)
The last Leica D-Lux 7 model was announced in 2018 and is already discontinued at Adorama, Amazon, and B&H Photo.
