Implemented by generating a black hole that bends light toward the camera. Its a plain old trick, I wonder why Canon didn't implement already.

A new type of lens that...
...multiplies light, quadrupling the amount of light that enters the sensor!
...doesn't require focus -- everything from 1 mm to infinity is perfectly in focus!
...has a focus depth ring that allows granular control of depth of field, from 1mm to infinity!
...has is ultrawide and can take a 230 degree panorama, undistorted, in a single shot!
...can be rotated like a periscope and take pictures around corners!
...transforms into a suit of giant robot armor! With a sword!

They're developing SMART lenses. Ones that know what to photograph, how to frame it, and how to expose it - perfectly. Every. Time. Thereby rendering the actual photographer as merely a gear lubber: "Just get me there already," screams the lens (in Japanese, to make it more official, and provide a little more cache)!

Idea
I always thought it funny that with their dual pixel raw tech, they were limiting the paralax they were able to derive from it by pairing two pixels that were right next to each other. I wondered why they could not use pixels that were from opposite sides of the sensor. I understand that they'd need to use the contiguous dual pixel tech for certain applications, but perhaps the focus shift parts could at least be informed by pairing pixels on the edges as well. There's an idea. I'm certain the developers would have thought of this as well, so they've either been developing it, or (more likely) there's a good reason why it's not practical.

I'd love to see an elaboration on the new material used in the new 16-35 2.8... was Blue Rafractive stuff actually developped for with 16-35 in mind?
Also, I wonder if anyone else would have preferred the 12-24 2.8 over the 11-24.

The teaser picture for this topic on the CR Home Page looks interesting. Huge diameter and very short length. Reminds me of Reflector Telescope designs. Reflector camera lenses have been built, but I not aware of any L quality Reflector Lenses, plus they all have unsightly donut bokeh circles.

Backside illuminated body cap. If you shoot a photo with this cap, you can lift six stops of shadows without ugly banding.

Everyone knows that every Japanese giant robot has a at least one sword. What's the point of a giant robot without a sword? That would be like a giant alien without acid drool.
But, fear not. Surely, Canon has made it a mirrorless sword.

I believe that it will ALWAYS focus perfectly on what you are thinking of. The wide end actually contains a brainwave receiver that interprets what you want in focus, including depth of field........ OR it is April Fools Day! Can't decide.
