A patent showing two optical formulas for some Canon RF primes has been uncovered by Canon News.

Canon RF 40mm f/1.8

  • Focal Length: 41.92mm
  • F-Number: 1.85
  • Angle of View: 27.30°
  • Image Height: 21.64mm
  • Lens length: 71.50mm
  • BF: 13.97mm

Canon RF 35mm f/1.8

  • Focal length: 36.00mm
  • F-number: 1.85
  • Angle of view: 31.00mm
  • Image height: 21.64mm
  • Lens length: 79.97mm
  • BF: 11.65mm

I'm expecting non-L RF mount prime lenses to be coming in the relatively near future, and this patent may be part of a series of Non-L prime lenses coming to the EOS R system

The patent does show a DSLR for the illustrations, but the backfocus length of these optical formulas shoes these designs are definitely for the RF mount.
