Canon Might Have A Crazy EOS R Lens Up Their Sleeve, An RF 50-82mm f/1.1

Canon patent application US20190243111 discusses various optical formulas for the EOS R full frame mirrorless camera lenses.

Among them is a 50-82mm f/1.1 lens. Will this lens ever come to the Canon EOS R system? Hard to say. At least there is an existing patent. Then time will tell.

• Focal length 51.50 64.17 82.52
• F-number 1.13 1.13 1.13
• Half angle of view 22.79 18.63 14.69 (degrees)
• Total lens length 220.20 225.05 224.20 
• BF 6.51 6.53 8.64
