    Quick Post
    I'm just travelling around a bit at the moment and I'm unable to format or research these patents thoroughly. I'm sure some of you will tear it apart. A better translation would be appreciated.

    This Japanese site has posted some Canon patents he/she has found.

    This is a direct email quote
    Based on his investigation Canon made following patents.

    EF300/F4 IS II with plastic lens.
    http://egami.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2009-12-17

    300f41 - Lens Patents
    EF 300 f/4L IS II

    This would be a welcomed lens by many.

    EF70-210/F4 IS II with plastic lens

    70210 - Lens Patents
    EF 70-200 f/4L IS II

    Not sure this lens needs an update yet.

    EF300/F2.8 DO IS and EF 400/F4 DO IS with new double DO and IS
    http://egami.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2009-12-02

    30028DO - Lens Patents
    EF 300 f/2.8DO IS

    A lot of DO patents popping up. A lot of people ask for smaller and lighter lenses.

    EF 15-24/F3.5-4.5 Fish eye zoom (not EF-S)

    fisheye - Lens Patents
    EF 15-24 f/3.5-4.5 Fisheye

    I think this would be a great fisheye solution. It wouldn't cost a lot at first sight.

    CR's Take
    All make some sense outside of a new 70-200 f/4L IS.
