New Rumor: Update to the TS-E 17mm rumored

The well regarded TS-E 17mm is rumored to be nearing replacement.  This would stand to reason as it's nearly 9 years since it's release (I can't believe it's been almost 9 years)

We haven't' seen any specific TS-E related patents with respect to the optical formula however we have spotted several mechanical and electronic patents including IS and AF on TS-E lenses.  Could the next TS-E's starting with the 17 and the 24 get AF and IS? 

CR notes;

We’ve now heard from multiple people that an update to the Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L tilt-shift lens is likely coming some time in the next year. The current version was announced in June of 2009, so we are approaching the 10 year anniversary of this highly regarded lens.

How to view Japan Patent applications.

Unfortunately, there's no direct way of linking to the patent application (sad!) however, this is the easiest process to view a japan patent or application.

  1. Go to the Japan Patent Office search page.
  2. If it's a patent application (they are usually in the format of Year-Number ie: 2017-011300) then type the patent application number into the second field down from the top where it says publication of patent application. 
  3. Click on search.
  4. Then click on the patent application number link, and there's the patent application!
