A patent showing two CN-E lenses has appeared. The first being a compact zoom CN-E 15.5-47 t2.8, which Canon announced in 2012. The second optical formula in the patent is a CN-E 18-85 t2.8, which would likely fall under the compact zoom category as well. The only other compact zoom in the cine lineup is the 30-105 t/2.8.
