Canon Patents New 50mm, 85mm, 135mm Designs




There has been much talked about more new, Canon prime lenses coming now that the EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x lens (read my review here) has finally been released. We are expecting Canon to replace the venerable EF 50mm f/1.4 and EF 135mm f/2L lenses soon, most probably in that order, with the latter perhaps getting IS.

Egami has spotted additional Canon patents of new, fast prime lens designs. You can read the original article in Japanese on their website.
