Wide-angle zooms.
2 of Canon's freshly published licenses are actually of what are described as small wide-angle zoom lens. The lens deal with the zoom ranges of 15-28 mm and 17-30 mm. Both lenses also have a steady wide max eye of f/2.8. Canon presently creates 14-35 mm f/4 is actually as well as 15-35 mm f/2.8 is actually lens in its L-Series along with identical central span selections.

Telephoto zooms.

As with the wide-angle zoom licenses, the telephoto zoom lens are actually developed to possess a compact layout. The 70-300 mm lense possesses a continual max eye of f/4.

Lens mounts.
The patents deal with the visual design of the lens and also don't indicate the lense install. Having said that, one of the most very likely choice would certainly be Canon's RF install. In addition, Kengo Iezuka, that oversees preparation lens at Canon, gave an interview concerning radio frequency lens lately. During the course of the interview, Iezuka stated, "There are actually still many lens that have not been discharged to the planet. I can not discuss the specifics, yet there are actually lenses with standard specs, and also lenses with standards that have actually never been actually found just before and that no person can easily visualize yet.".
What we assume.
Up until recently, Canon has avoided other manufacturers coming from making RF mount lens. Currently the business is starting to open the market to other lense makers, Canon needs to keep innovating. The brand-new patents present that Canon is actually striving to establish impressive brand-new lens for its own RF place electronic cameras. Having said that, as always, where licenses are involved, it's also essential to consider that the process is done predominantly to defend technical development. The sign up of a license does not consistently lead to an item coming to market.
