The Latest News:
Canon’s Latest Lens Patent
Canon’s been known to dream big with lenses, but their latest patent might be their wildest yet. According to Canon Rumors, a new filing shows plans for a 24mm lens with an insane f/0.7 aperture. That combo—super wide and ultra fast—is something you just don’t see. For context, lenses like the legendary Zeiss 50mm f/0.7 were already groundbreaking, and that was at a much longer focal length. A 24mm f/0.7 would blow open all kinds of creative low-light possibilities.
Of course, pulling this off is no small feat. Ultra-wide lenses at apertures like this usually come with a pile of issues like coma, field curvature, and focus breathing. Plus, mirrorless cameras don’t leave a ton of room for bulky lens elements, which makes it even trickier. Canon’s patent hints at clever ways to get around these headaches, including internal focusing tricks to keep your shot from shifting as you focus.
That said, just because it’s patented doesn’t mean it’s hitting store shelves anytime soon. Honestly, an f/0.7 at 24mm feels a bit like sci-fi, but even if we don’t see this lens, it’s exciting to know Canon’s out there testing the limits.
WhiteWall’s Free Image Upscaling Tool

WhiteWall just rolled out a new feature called SuperResolution, and if you’ve ever wished your low-res photos could magically become print-worthy, this might be your thing. It’s a completely free AI-powered tool that focuses on upscaling your images. However, unlike basic upscaling, which usually just stretches pixels, SuperResolution uses AI to actually rebuild detail, keeping things like hair, eyes, and fine textures crisp.
It’s especially useful if you’re working with older smartphone shots, heavy crops, or files you thought were way too small to print. What’s nice is that it’s totally seamless: you upload your photo like normal, and SuperResolution quietly does its thing behind the scenes, showing you new size options without making you mess around with any extra settings.
WhiteWall also pairs this with other tools like their ultraHD sharpening and Image Optimization, which tweaks things like brightness, contrast, and saturation automatically. All in all, it feels like they’re making it easier than ever to get great-looking prints, even from less-than-perfect files.
