CanonNews / Thursday, June 17, 2021 / Categories: Canon Patents Canon Patent Application: Canon RF 24, 28, and 35mm F1.2L It's probably a really good guess to assume that a Canon RF 35mm F1.2L is coming, and it's going to be great, big and expensive. We've found another patent describing a possible Canon RF 35mm F1.2 and here's another patent application with some 35mm F1.2L embodiments. For the EF system the 24L 1.4 was a great lens, and could Canon also be looking at expanding the F1.2L lineup to include the 24 and 28mm focal lengths? I'm sure for fast prime shooters it would be a tempting proposition. The only issue I see with these embodiment for the 24 and 28mm is that the back focus distance is pretty tight for the RF mount, with a 7mm inset into the mount. While these may not be the exact embodiments that Canon would use for such lenses on the RF mount, it's important that they are considering them. Canon RF 24mm F1.2L focal length 24.74 F number 1.24 Half angle of view 41.17 Image height 21.64 Lens overall length 143.97 BF 13.45 Canon RF 28mm F1.2L focal length 27.15 F number 1.24 Half angle of view 38.55 Image height 21.64 Lens total length 146.96 BF 13.45 Canon RF 35mm F1.2L Focal length 34.00 F number 1.24 Half angle of view 32.47 Image height 21.64 Lens total length 154.96 BF 17.05 Also, there appears a "now-pedestrian" Canon RF 35mm F1.4L embodiment as F1.4 is the new F1.8. As with the 24 and 28mm, this also appears to have too short of a backfocus distance.
