Canon cooks up constant f/4 superzooms for its APS-C cameras

Canon lens patent drawing.

A Canon patent application submitted at the end of 2023 hints that two new superzoom APS-C lenses are on the horizon: an RF-S 20-120mm f/4 and an 18-100mm f/4, both of which will suit a wide range of genres including landscape and wildlife. In full-frame terms, these would be 32-192mm and 28.8-160mm equivalents.

There seems to be no stopping Canon when it comes to developing new RF lenses, and the arrival of two new optics for APS-C bodies will come as welcome news. As things stand there are just four official Canon RF lenses for cropped sensor Canon cameras: the RF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM, RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM, RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM.
