Patent for wide angle fluorite concepts
Canon has filed patent for a wide angle fluorite concept. Such a patent could be part of a new ultra-wide zoom lens, perhaps a 14-24 or a replacement to the 16-35. Egami also thinks it's possible this patent could be for the EF-M mount. It's an interesting read, even when Google translated. Read the full patent here.
