Profoto is on a speed kick this Photokina. First, they announce the D2, the world's fastest TTL monolight. And now, less than a week later, they've topped everybody yet again by introducing the Pro-10 studio generator: the self-styled "World's Fastest Flash."

The memory card wars are fought on two playing fields: size and speed. And SanDisk is claiming victories on both fields today with the release of the 256GB SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-I card—the world's fastest 256GB microSD card.

Corel just released AfterShot Pro 3, the newest version of its non-destructive RAW editor. And while it adds a bunch of cool features like more powerful highlight recovery and the ability to create custom lens correction profiles, that's not its claim to fame. It's claim to fame is sheer speed.

Sony today unveiled its new Xperia Z5 family of smartphones, which breaks new ground in the camera and display department thanks to the line's high-end Xperia Z5 Premium phone. That phone features a 23MP sensor, an f/2 lens, the world's first 4K display on a phone, and the world's fastest autofocus in its camera module.

We've told you about some pretty fast lenses in the past -- from the legendary Zeiss 50mm f/0.7 lenses made for NASA and used by Stanley Kubrick to film a candle light scene, to X-Ray lenses that you can try to Frankenstein onto your camera body for some strange soft-focus results.

But what is the fastest lens that is theoretically possible? And what would that lens look like? Matt Granger answers those exact questions in the interesting technical video above.

You might think you have a fast lens if it tops f/1.2 or f/1.0, but that's nothing compared to the De Oude Delft 50mm f/0.75. It's one of the fastest lenses in the world, and -- compared to other super speedy lenses -- isn't that expensive.

Apparently NOT April Fools' joke, the world's fastest purchasable camera lens looks to have been posted -- and now sold -- on eBay earlier today.

Speed freaks (at least where lenses are concerned) who love their mirrorless camera get ready to celebrate, because there's a new super-fast lens on the market that is claiming the title of "fastest lens in the world for mirrorless systems" -- the Ibelux 40mm f/0.85.

If you thought the Zeiss f/0.7 lenses we shared yesterday were impressive, check out this crazy piece of glass: it's the Carl Zeiss Super-Q-Gigantar 40mm f/0.33. It's what some people call the fastest camera lens ever made.

Is that claim true? Well, yes and no... but mostly no.

Want to capture images of a scene that's lit purely with candlelight? You can now rent a pair of Zeiss f/0.7 lenses -- two of the largest aperture lenses ever seen in the history of photography.

Fujifilm launched a number of new compact cameras this week. While most of them offer rather pedestrian improvements on older models, one of the models comes with a rather eye-catching claim: the new FinePix F900EXR is said to feature the world's fastest autofocus system found in a digital camera.

German scientists have been awarded a Guinness World Record for “fastest movie” after successfully capturing two images of an …
