Patent: Very small large aperture zoom lens optical formulas

[mdcmdcmdc]

Your math is wrong. The diameter of the FF image circle is ~43.2mm, and the image height for a FF image circle is ~21.6mm (not coincidentally, the image height at the longer focal lengths of the lenses in these patents is 21.64mm).

My math was right, it’s my typing that was wrong! 21.6 mm, agreed.

So why is this important to the average consumer? Not as if someone is going to manufacture or 3D a lens. Besides it is one of hundreds if not thousands of Canon patents.

If you dislike rumors, perhaps you should not visit rumor sites. This stuff doesn't have to be important. It is okay if it is simply interesting.

He would rather visit CanonRuMErs, the site where only rumors you personally care about are posted.

Anyone know if there is an upcoming event where we can possibly expect new lenses?

Just do the 24 70 f/4.....

Just do the 24 70 f/4.....

And an RF-S 15-60 f/4 for those who rely on smaller sensor sizes

Small Large....

There’s always a trade off when bringing camera for vacation, weather sealed and large aperture lens I si going to be heavy and huge, really hope canon can come out something light with large aperture and weather sealed lens.

Canon’s goal in this patent​

To provide a zoom lens having a short total length and a small size but having high optical performance, and an image pickup apparatus having the same.

Mystified and amused by the terminology...

How can the "image pickup apparatus" (presumably the camera sensor) have the "same" (i.e. a short total length, small size and high optical performance?

Something has been lost in the translation here - if they are not referring to the sensor, what exactly do they mean by "image pickup apparatus"?

Image pickup apparatus = camera.
