If we believe the sheer number of Canon patent applications for RF lenses we must think Canon takes their EOS R full frame mirrorless system very seriously.
Canon patent application 2019-197095A (Japan) discusses the optical formulas for three very fast prime lenses for the RF mount. The lenses are 18 mm f/1, 18mm f/1.2, and 25mm f/1.2.
Don’t expect these lenses to be announced anytime soon.
More Canon patent applications are listed here. Some particularly interesting patent applications we think might get into production are these:

Here is something useful. A video about hot to do autofocus microadjustment.
The 14 minutes video below by Michael The Maven shows how to microadjust autofocus on your lens using a cereal box and a ruler. He uses a Canon EOS 90D to show it.
The cereal box and ruler method allows photographers to quickly visualize where their lenses are focusing and to verify if they are out of alignment. This video demonstrates the philosophies of MFA (micro focus adjustment) and some of the principles to become familiar with if you decide to try this on your own.
If you prefer there is a neat written tutorial about how to do autofocus microadjustment by Canon itself and you can download it here.
Update: Images of the lens leaked at Digicame-Info and can be seen below. The Tokina ATX-i 100mm f/2.8 FF MACRO is scheduled to be released December 6, 2019.
According to Nokishita, lens manufacturer Tokina is set to soon announce a new 100mm f/2.8 macro lens for full frame cameras with Canon EF and Nikon F mount.
The new Tokina lens, Tokina ATX-i 100mm f/2.8 FF MACRO, is going to replace the Tokina 100mm f/2.8 AT-X M100 AF Pro D lens (image on top).
We expect the new Tokina ATX-i 100mm f/2.8 FF MACRO to get announced soon, likely within the next two weeks.
Stay tuned.
Japanese site Toyokeizai published some statistics on the mirrorless camera market in 2018. The data comes from Techno System Research, a private marketing research company.
There is nothing really new here. Sony is the top dog in mirrorless sales, followed by Canon and the rest of the pack.
A note of caution. I was not able to understand for sure if the used data refers to the Japanese market or to the global market, though I tend to believe it’s the latter.
Given that we are almost in 2020 I wonder if these stats really matter.
