<p>A patent showing another crazy superzoom has appeared, this time the optical formula is for an EF 28-560mm f/2.8-5.6L USM. We’d assume such a lens would also have IS if it ever came to market. We expected to see a non-L superzoom sometime in 2016, but that has apparently been put off until late 2017 at the earliest.</p>
<p>Patent Publication No. 2016-142795</p>
<ul>
<li>Published 2016.8.8</li>
<li>Filing date 2015.1.30</li>
<li>Zoom ratio 18.86</li>
<li>Focal length 28.80 119.57 543.20</li>
<li>F-number 2.88 4.56 5.88</li>
<li>Half angle of view (degrees) 36.91 10.26 2.28</li>
<li>Image height 21.64 21.64 21.64</li>
<li>The total lens length 281.07 331.07 385.01</li>
<li>BF 53.05 61.31 40.00</li>
<li>The effective diameter of the front lens 120.00</li>
</ul>
<p>I’m not sure this is a superzoom we’re likely to see, but all indications point to Canon definitely developing a replacement for the EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS.</p>
