Canon Patent: RF 80mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1 Lens For EOS R System

And yet another Canon patent for a lens for the EOS R full frame mirrorless camera system,

Canon patent application 2020-181169A (Japan) discusses optical formulas for an RF 80mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1 lens.

• Focal length: 80.45 mm
• F number: 2.90
• Half angle of view: 15.05
• Image height: 21.64 mm
• Lens length: 123.69 mm
• Back focus: 13.72 mm

Interesting lens I have to say. Let’s hope it goes into production.
