Patents always get me excited as a rare glimpse into what camera brands are working on behind-the-scenes. This time, it’s Canon treating us to lens insights with the new patent revealing mock-ups for a series of f/2.8 lenses.
The f/2.8 lenses outlined in patent P2026-52804A, which was published by the Japan Patent Office on March 25, include a 10mm, 12mm, 18mm, and 28mm prime, all featuring highly compact, lightweight builds, likely to be pancake lenses.
