Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens Diagram Leaks, Shows A Newly Designed Lens

An image of the upcoming Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM already leaked, now we also have the lens diagram.

The leaked lens diagram shows a lens based on a new design, and not simply adapted from the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM. The RF 50mm f/1.8 is a nice and small pancake lens and I am pretty sure it will sell like hot cake (if it has the same reasonable price as the EF 50mm f/1.8).
