More Canon lens patents have shown up. This time we get some macro patents that also include hybrid IS. We've been told that the 180mm f/3.5L macro is on its way out, and this could be the direction Canon takes it.
A few other focal lengths also appear in the patent as well such as 200mm & 300mm versions with hybrid IS.
