Venus 17mm Tilt-Shift Lands + DxO PureRAW 6 Shrinks DNGs Dramatically

Two things worth flagging here: Venus Optics is pushing into specialty glass territory with a 17mm f/4 tilt-shift, which is a niche but underserved focal length — architecture and product shooters should pay attention, especially given Laowa's track record for punching above its price point. Meanwhile, DxO PureRAW 6 is doing something quietly significant: compressing DNG outputs from ~150MB down to around 24MB, which could be a genuine workflow win for anyone shooting high-res bodies and drowning in storage costs. The Canon fast zoom rumor is unverified and thin on detail, so hold off on excitement there until something credible surfaces.
