The Latest News:
Leica’s New M EV1 Camera Is Here

Leica has officially unveiled the M EV1, the company’s first M-series camera with a built-in electronic viewfinder, a major shift for a lineup that has relied on optical rangefinders for more than 70 years. Leica says the new model marks a “significant milestone” for the brand, aiming to combine everything people love about the M lineup with the modern benefits of an EVF. The 5.76-million-dot OLED viewfinder offers 0.76x magnification and gives you live exposure previews, focus zoom, and manual focus aids, all without needing to use the rear screen. It even has built-in diopter adjustment from -4 to +2 and can show exposure info around the frame while keeping the image itself clear.
While it looks and feels like a familiar M, the EV1 changes how it is used. The usual rangefinder lever now switches between focus peaking, magnification, and digital zoom (1.3x and 1.8x) for JPEGs. Inside, it is powered by the same 60-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor from the M11 series, with Triple Resolution Technology that lets users choose between 60, 36, or 18MP files. It runs on Leica’s Maestro III processor, has 64GB of built-in memory, a UHS-II SD card slot, and, as always, is handmade in Germany. Despite the new tech, it still keeps that classic Leica build and feel, just lighter, about 50 grams less than the M11-P.
Design-wise, it gets a few fresh touches, including a diamond-pattern leatherette similar to the Q3, setting it apart from the rest of the M lineup. Like the M11-P, the M EV1 also supports Content Credentials, embedding authenticity data directly into each image. The camera is priced at $8,995, which makes it about $850 cheaper than the M11-P. It is already rolling out globally, though U.S. availability is on hold for now while Leica waits on FCC approval.

ON1 Photo RAW 2026 is here, it is the latest version of ON1’s photo editing software, which focuses on faster AI tools, improved masking, and a few notable workflow changes. The update brings smarter AI masking and selection tools that better detect subjects and backgrounds, producing cleaner edges with less manual tweaking. RAW processing has also been refined for more accurate colour handling and improved overall image quality.
A new Double Exposure filter joins the lineup, letting you create layered, composite-style images directly within the app. The Effects panel has been reorganised, now offering a favourites section, a search option when adding filters, and new “Starting Point” presets. ON1 has also added four new creative filters and updated tools for perspective correction. The software now supports grayscale edits and introduces a Negative Mode for working with film scans.
The interface itself has been streamlined to make navigation a bit smoother, especially when working with masks and layers. Resize AI 2026 is built in for upscaling, and the program can still run as a standalone editor or as a plug-in for Lightroom and Photoshop.
