Canon Patent: RF 85mm F1.8L, RF 100mm F1.8L IS, RF 135mm F1.8L IS, RF 150mm F1.8L IS

I welcome the 85mm F1.4L more than anything.
Having the 35 + 85 primes that are lightweight and high quality is my preferred travel lenses on 2x identical bodies.
I've been waiting years for this Canon after moving back from Sony mirrorless when the R5 first appeared.
I hope it ships soon :)

If Canon does come out with the 85mm 1.8 L IS it better be the cheapest L prime in history. I can see it being targeted at video, but with the f2 IS version basically filling that use scenario already, it would be a tough sell to charge much more for some basic weather sealing.

The RF 85 f/2 is not so great for video.
Focus hunts quite a lot.
The wider RF 24 f/1.8 and RF 35 f/1.8 are great for video.
Although, they are a bit noisy for indoors.
