Canon Inc. has filed a patent application for more optical formulas of fast RF prime lenses, this time an RF 28mm f/1.4L USM and an RF 35mm f/1.4L USM.
There have been many patents in the past for these optical formulas, but our roadmap shows an RF 35mm f/1.2L USM and I haven't yet been told that an RF 28mm f/1.4L USM was on the way.

A weather-sealed 28mm & 100mm at f/2 or faster, in a size that is actually practical (i.e. not Sigma's 2.7kg pair), is all I've been asking for lens-wise from Canon for the last... well, nearly two decades.
I guess enough people have accepted the properties of the new 50mm f/1.2 85mm f/1.2 and 28-70mm f/2, that I don't think they will go back to f/1.4L lenses on the wide-end.
