With the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS already announced, it was only a matter of time before an f/4 version of the lens hit the market. This patent shows that Canon is actively working on such a lens.

Unlike the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, the f/4 version in this patent appears to show an internal zoom lens design.

Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L:

  • Focal Length: 72.20mm 130.45mm 194.20mm
  • F-Number: 4.00 3.95 4.00
  • Angle of View: 16.68° 9.42° 6.36°
