In efforts to push the bounds of what’s normal when it comes to full frame lenses, Canon has reportedly registered patents for two new zoom f/2.8 lenses with exceptional focal ranges.
According to reports on Canon Watch, Canon is potentially developing a 24-85mm f/2.8 and a 24-100mm f/2.8. Canon has already started to tweak our understanding of what a holy trinity of zooms should be through its huge and expensive RF 28-70mm f/2L as an alternative to its slightly lighter, cheaper, and more traditional counterpart, the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L.
From current indications, it seems that Canon is looking at extending the focal reach of their lenses whilst maintaining that fast aperture of f/2.8. Now this presents two questions: how big would the new lenses be, and how much would they cost? A 24-100mm at f/2.8 lens seems geared more towards event shooters and photojournalists, and with any hope, maybe Canon has plans to tweak its telephoto stalwart; the 70-200mm f/2.8, to begin at 100mm at its widest in order to create some sort of a mega-trinity.
