From China with love: 35mm f / 0.95 for APS-C mirrorless Sony, Fuji and Canon

The full name is hard to remember: Shenyang Zhongyi Optical and Electronic Company. So much so that they themselves will shorten it in ZY Optics. Perhaps some will remember them if we add that it is the manufacturer who produced the optical Mitakon 1984-2004.



Today there is a better chance for the Chinese manufacturer to be remembered. Specializing in optical super-bright, has announced the availability of the second version of its Speedmaster Mitakon 35mm f / 0.95.
Designed for APS-C mirrorless, on which is roughly equivalent to a standard, is available E-mount Sony, Fujifilm X and Canon EOS-M, and can be purchased online at a price of $ 599.

The optical scheme includes 11 elements in 8 groups, including 6 special items (1 low dispersion, 3 + 2 high refractive index) that, according to the manufacturer increases the resolution by 30% compared to the first version. Measuring just 63x60mm, weighs 460g, and uses 55mm filters. Making strictly manual focus.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
