    Patent: Canon APS-C CINI Soft Focus Zoom Lens

    As we dig through all of this “new camera” chatter from recent days, we continue to be reminded of patent applications over the last few months.

    This one is for a soft focus Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3. This sort of lens could basically be an EF-M Cine Lens which would use the soft focus capability to blur out the background in shots.

    Canon News Interprets Japan Patent Application 2018-10282:

    While the lens itself isnt' that exciting and originally I wasn't going to even post this patent application. After some later thought, I decided it may be showing a trend in what Canon may be considering – a EF-M mini-CINI-EOS.

    The curious thing to also note is that this would indicate a camera with a APS-C sensor

    However both of them exhibit no image height and back focus changes as the lens goes from wide to far, which is a trend in CINI lenses more than regular zooms.

    We think there is something definitely going on, as we're getting a lot of detailed patent applications on complete and near complete products.
