Canon Patent Application: Internal Zoom RF-S F4.0 lenses

[Canon Rumors Guy]

This is a curious patent from Canon. These are without a doubt higher-end lenses and are certainly for APS-C and not for Super-35 or Canon Cinema. Canon specifically mentions that these types of lenses would be advantageous for video as the center of gravity doesn’t change. Fixed-length zoom lenses are known in which the overall

I have been asking for fixed aperture RF-S zooms like these.
Their EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS was pretty popular.
An RF-S 18-100 f/4 IS would make the most sense to me but I guess the other two make sense if there were an RF-S 11-20 f/4 IS to pair one of them with.

I just got my 24-105 f/2.8 Z Lens a few days ago. I am not surprised they are making something for APS-C sensors, and won't be surprised for a RF-Z series of lenses. I think the new 70-200 f/2.8 will be a Z-Lens (sounds strange to say that because of Nikons Z-Mount). I think this is a step in the right direction for Canon and others will see this and start to follow (especially Sony as they come out with more global shutter sensors and the benefits of global shutter are a lot more for video).

I just wish Canon would give more camera support to the CN-E 18-80 f.4 IS or at least make an R7 C based on a faster R7 II.
If they do it like the R5 C then the R7 II would also support it.

For all those with APS-C sensors, the 18-100mm F4.0 would be a perfect all-rounder.
I hope for a friend of mine that Canon will bring that to life...
I think that 20mm (=32mm FF equ.) at the wide end is not wide enough.

Yes! Please an RF-s 17-55 f2.8 ! if possible "L". I would buy one.

If these are Power zooms, and let's Sigma take care the traditional mechanical zoom. It is an absolute win.
