The Canon RF lens lineup will obviously include more affordable non-L options, and this patent shows Canon is working on such optical formulas.

The back focus on the RF 28mm f/1.8 is really short, which is quite interesting.

Canon RF 28mm f/1.8

  • Focal length: 28.80mm
  • F-number: 1.85
  • Half angle of view: 36.91°
  • Image height: 21.64mm
  • Total lens length: 80.30mm
  • BF: 7.00mm

Canon RF 50mm f/1.8

  • Focal length: 48.50mm
  • F-number: 1.85
  • Half angle of view: 24.04°
  • Image height: 21.64mm
  • Total lens length: 95.00mm
  • BF: 15.80mm

We had previously reported on the possibility of an RF 50mm f/1.8 IS coming sometime in 2019. With the coming IBIS in Canon mirrorless cameras, we may not see IS in these types of lenses to reduce size and weight.
