A patent for new lens designs, including wide-angle primes like a 9.5mm f/2.8 and 11.7mm f/2.8, have been filed by Canon. The optical systems are small and lightweight, and feature elements such as an ND filter.
What's intriguing is that the patent – which was filed back in 2023, but has only recently been made public – suggests that these lenses are meant for 1.4-inch sensors. But what is a 1.4-inch sensor?
