Egami has discovered a new patent filed by Canon. The new patent describes the EF 11-24mm f/4 ultra wide-angle zoom lens for full frame sensor DSRLs.
The EF 11-24mm f/4 ultra wide-angle zoom lens will be a good choice for Canon users because in this focal range the only wide-angle zoom lenses to compete the legendary Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED are the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II or the EF 8-15 f/4L Fisheye.
See below for the patent details translated by machine.
