Back in August, I mentioned that Canon was working on a whole line of f/1.2L prime lenses for the RF mount. So far we have the RF 50mm f/1.2L USM and the RF 85 f/1.2L USM, but there are more clues that more f/1.2L lenses are in the pipeline.

Canon News has uncovered the following optical designs for the RF mount.

  • Focal length 18.51mm
  • F-number 1.24
  • half angle of view (degree) 49.45°
  • Image height 21.64mm
  • Total lens length 129.00mm
  • BF 16.40mm

  • focal length 24.59mm
  • F-number 1.24
