Second-quarter financial highlights from July to September by business segments

Healthcare

  • Revenue increased by 9.8% year-over-year to JPY297.3 billion, while operating income declined 17.3% year-over-year to JPY16.0 billion, primarily due to upfront costs associated with the start-up of new large-scale Bio CDMO facilities in the United States, the impact of unplanned shutdowns in response to regulatory inspections, and higher raw material costs due to surging silver prices.
  • In the Medical Systems business, revenue increased, driven by significant performance in endoscope in the United States, continued strong growth in Europe and Japan, as well as in India, Southeast Asia and other markets, and higher sales of MRI systems and IVD products.
  • In the Bio CDMO business, revenue increased, driven by the ramp-up of new large-scale facilities.
  • In the LS Solutions business, revenue increased, driven by expanded use of cell culture media among major pharmaceutical companies.

Electronics

  • Revenue increased by 23.0% year-over-year to JPY132.0 billion, and operating income rose by 66.6% year-over-year to JPY32.4 billion.
  • In the Electronic Materials business, revenue increased, driven by strong sales of advanced-node materials, including those used in generative AI applications, such as the world’s leading CMP slurries for copper interconnects, NTI developers and liquid polyimides.
  • In the Advanced Functional Materials business, revenue increased, supported by higher sales of data tapes to major IT companies, among other factors.

Business Innovation

  • Revenue decreased by 1.7% year-over-year to JPY293.5 billion, and operating income declined by JPY14.9 billion year-over-year to JPY0.9 billion.
  • In the Business Solutions business, revenue decreased, primarily due to the absence of large-scale projects for local governments recorded in the previous fiscal year and lower revenue from related services as PC and server projects in Japan were postponed to the second half of the fiscal year due to semiconductor supply constraints.
  • In the Office Solutions business, revenue declined due to lower exports to Europe and North America.
  • In the Graphic Communications business, revenue increased, supported by higher sales of production printer Revoria Press series in new markets.

Imaging

  • Revenue increased by 11.0% year-over-year to JPY162.3 billion, and operating income rose by 29.6% year-over-year to JPY50.1 billion.
  • In the Consumer Imaging business, revenue increased due to strong sales of instax™ products, supported by robust demand for mid- to high-end models such as the instax mini Evo™ and instax WIDE 400™, coupled with strong sales of the new entry-level instax mini 13™.
  • In the Professional Imaging business, revenue decreased due to the impact of strong sales of new products in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Laowa 24mm f/2 Zero-D Tilt-Shift For GFX Announced


Laowa 24mm f/2 Zero-D Tilt-Shift: B&H Photo / Venus Optics

A New Perspective in Tilt-Shift Photography

Anhui, China — November 4, 2026 — Laowa officially announces the 24mm f/2 Zero-D Tilt-Shift, a full-frame tilt-shift lens built for demanding architectural and commercial photography. It combines a fast f/2 aperture, Laowa’s signature Zero-D (near-zero distortion) optics, ±12mm shift and ±10° tilt, and a large image circle that also serves GFX and XCD medium-format users. Alongside the launch, Laowa introduces the XCD mount for its 55mm and 100mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift 1x Macro lenses, bringing more options to Hasselblad medium-format photographers.

Key Features

  • Fastest f/2 aperture in its tilt-shift class
  • ±12mm shift for perspective control and stitching
  • ±10° tilt for selective focus / Scheimpflug effects
  • Zero-D optical design — straight lines stay straight
  • Compact as a tilt-shift lens
  • Large Ø67mm image circle — full-frame + medium format
  • 13 elements in 10 groups (including ED and aspherical glass)
  • Manual focus; Ø77mm filter thread; all-metal build

Precise ±10° of Tilt and ±12mm of Shift

  • Shift Function: Offers up to ±12mm of shift on full-frame cameras, enabling precise perspective control and effortless vertical line correction. It allows photographers to capture ultra-wide panoramic images by stitching multiple shifted frames together.
  • Tilt Function: Offers up to ±10° of tilt adjustment, allowing photographers to manipulate the plane of focus for both practical and creative effects, including the distinctive miniature effect.

*The 24mm f/2 is engineered to balance its tilt and shift capabilities while maintaining a compact form factor. The available tilt and shift ranges may vary slightly depending on the camera mount, particularly when focusing at infinity. In general, applying more tilt reduces the available shift range, and vice versa.

Fast f/2 Maximum Aperture

With its ultra-large f/2 aperture, this is the fastest tilt-shift lens ever made for any format. The extra light-gathering capability expands the possibilities of tilt-shift photography beyond daylight, making it ideal for dimly lit interiors, blue-hour scenes, and night-sky photography.

Compact Form in Tilt-Shift Photography

Measuring Ø93mm × 119mm (Ø3.66″ × 4.69″) and weighing just 860g (1.90 lb), the 24mm f/2 Zero-D Tilt-Shift maintains a remarkably compact form factor for a lens of its class, making it a versatile choice for both studio and on-location photography.

Zero Distortion

Laowa’s signature Zero-D optical design minimises distortion at the source, keeping straight lines straight across the frame, from the centre to the edges, with no bowed doorframes or curved horizons to correct in post-production.

Bringing Tilt-Shift Photography to Medium Format

The 24mm f/2 Zero-D Tilt-Shift also supports GFX and XCD medium-format camera systems via compatible mounts, retaining its full ±10° tilt range and ±12mm of shift along both the X and Y axes. With its 24mm-equivalent field of view, it is one of the most affordable solutions in its category for GFX and XCD photographers.

XCD Mount Now Available for 55mm and 100mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift 1x Macro

Expanding its medium-format lineup, Laowa introduces XCD mount versions of its existing 55mm and 100mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift 1x Macro lenses. This expansion gives Hasselblad photographers greater flexibility in product photography, close-up work, and creative tilt-shift applications.

Pricing & Availability

The 24mm f/2 Zero-D Tilt-Shift lens, along with the 55mm and 100mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift 1x Macro lenses, is available on the official Venus Optics website (venuslens.net) and through authorised global resellers starting November 5, 2026, at 14:00 GMT / 22:00 HKT / 6:00 PST.

US MSRP: USD 1,249 (pricing varies by region)

Tamron Eyes Medium Format: New Patent Details Three Fast Primes With GFX Sensor Coverage

A newly uncovered Japanese patent publication from Tamron Co., Ltd. (特開2026-175043, published November 2, 2026) has surfaced, detailing four fast prime optical formulas—three of which feature large image circles designed to cover medium format (“large format”) sensors like the Fujifilm GFX system.

While Tamron has already become a staple third-party lens manufacturer for Fujifilm X-mount, the company has yet to officially step into the Fujifilm G-mount arena. However, the numerical embodiments inside this latest filing suggest Tamron’s optical engineers are actively researching fast-aperture medium format prime designs.

Patent Overview (JP 2026-175043)

  • Applicant: Tamron Co., Ltd.
  • Publication Number: JP 2026-175043 (特開2026-175043)
  • Publication Date: November 2, 2026
  • Title: Optical System, Imaging Apparatus, and Moving Body
  • Core Objective: Simultaneously suppressing longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberrations in large-aperture prime lenses by optimizing refractive power distribution, Abbe numbers, and anomalous dispersion glass elements.

The Four Optical Embodiments

Within the patent documentation, Tamron outlines four distinct prime lens designs:

  • Tamron 65mm f/1.8 (Medium Format / GFX Coverage): Features an image height (Y) tailored for 44x33mm sensors (~27.5mm–28mm). On a Fujifilm GFX body (0.79x crop factor), this provides a ~51mm full-frame equivalent field of view, slotting directly between the Fujinon GF 55mm f/1.7 R WR and GF 63mm f/2.8 R WR.
  • Tamron 75mm f/1.8 (Medium Format / GFX Coverage): Also designed with a medium format image circle, delivering a ~59mm full-frame equivalent field of view on GFX—offering a fast standard-to-short-portrait focal length comparable to the GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR.
  • Tamron 130mm f/2.6 (Medium Format / GFX Coverage): A dedicated medium format portrait telephoto prime providing a ~103mm full-frame equivalent field of view. It would sit slightly longer than the legendary Fujinon GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR while maintaining a more compact f/2.6 aperture footprint.
  •  (35mm Full-Frame Only): Unlike the other three embodiments, this ultra-fast portrait lens specifies a standard 21.63mm full-frame image height and would require 35mm crop mode on a GFX camera.

Will Tamron Enter the Fujifilm G-Mount?

For GFX shooters, third-party autofocus lens options have historically been much slimmer than on X-mount, though manufacturers have slowly begun testing the waters as the GFX100 II and GFX100S II expand the medium format user base.

Because these optical designs incorporate sufficient back focus distance to clear mirrorless medium format mounts (Fujifilm G-mount requires a 26.7mm flange focal distance, while Hasselblad XCD sits at 18.14mm), these formulas are clearly engineered with mirrorless medium format cameras in mind.

As always with Japanese optical patents, manufacturers frequently patent baseline optical formulas that never reach mass production. Still, seeing Tamron calculate three distinct 44x33mm prime lenses in a single filing is one of the strongest hints yet that third-party glass makers are keeping a close eye on Fujifilm’s Large Format ecosystem.
