The difference in field of view between a 26+ mm lens and a 24 mm lens is substantial, I doubt if they could get away with calling a 26+ mm lens a 24 mm lens. But the lens(es) from this patent application may never see the light of day.Could be. But normally Canon would round this up to the "better side".
A 382mm tele will become a "400mm".
A 26 mm WA will become a "24 mm".
We'll see, what patent will come to live at all.
