Godox XR TTL: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Improving upon their previous X1R series, Godox introduces the XR TTL Wireless Receiver. Expand your wireless flash system with the XR —now arriving with a more practical, still intuitive, and modern design. Part of Godox’s 2.4 GHz X wireless system, the XR model is both Canon and Nikon compatible and works with flashes that support TTL automatic exposure and metering, making it an excellent choice for shooters who need to work quickly. An improved LCD screen offers easy adjustment of settings and a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery eliminates the need for separate batteries. Godox includes a sync cable and a USB-C cable for convenience.

2.4 GHz X System
Thanks to its compatibility with Godox’s 2.4 GHz X system, the XR works together with the separately available X3Pro, X3, XPro II, XPro, and X2T flash triggers. It enables wireless camera shutter control when using the optional X3Pro, X3, or XPro II models.

New 7Artisans 75mm f/1.4

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 3, 2026

7Artisans 75mm f/1.4: B&H Photo / Amazon

7Artisans released the manual 7Artisans 75mm f/1.4, which has a pretty slick classic Leica-like design.

A short-telephoto prime lens well-suited for portraits, the 7artisans 75mm f/1.4 Lens is a manual focus optic designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras. It’s suitable for creamy bokeh portraits, night shots, still life, travel, and casual street photography. The optical design features three high-refractive index lenses, which enhance sharpness and reduce optical aberrations. An f/1.4 maximum aperture combined with 13 aperture blades supports the creation of aesthetically pleasing bokeh and is designed for use in low-light situations. The minimum focusing distance of 2.6′ offers users more room for portraiture in close quarters. The metal body only weighs 14.3 oz.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: December 31, 2025

This press release is for Japan, but prices will increase everywhere because memory production is being squeezed globally thanks to AI. Some of the increases are pretty steep, so grab some memory cards at the current prices while you can from B&H Photo and Amazon.

Effective from January 8, 2026 Notice of regular price increase

Responding to the significant price increase of flash memory due to the surge in demand associated with the construction of AI infrastructure

Due to the rapid increase in demand for semiconductor memory associated with the construction of AI infrastructure, and the resulting significant increase in flash memory prices, ProGrade Digital Inc. will raise the regular prices on the Amazon.co.jp ProGrade Digital Inc. store on January 8, 2026. At the same time, the exchange rate, currently $1 = 150 yen, will be changed to $1 = 155 yen to reflect the current exchange rate. Please refer to the price list for the new regular prices.

Although supply uncertainty and price fluctuations are expected to continue in the semiconductor memory market in 2026, we will make every effort to maintain as stable a product supply as possible.
