GoPro's sale drags on, Leica pulls an LOBA nod, and Nikon pauses a lens
GoPro says its board-authorised sale process is now in 'later stages,' alongside a 38% year-on-year drop in camera shipments. Leica has pulled a Russian photographer from its LOBA 2026 shortlist with no public explanation, and Nikon has suspended new orders on the Z 600mm f/6.3 telephoto. Rounding out the day: an obituary for surf photographer Hank Foto, a new virtual-drive workflow tool, and how Nolan's team rigged a Pentax 67 as an IMAX viewfinder.
