Canon Patent for CN-E 18-85mm and CN-E 15.5-47mm Cine Lenses

By on

Canon filed a new patent in Japan. The new patent describes a new CN-E 18-85mm f/2.8, CN-E 15.5-47mm f/2.8 lenses for Cinema products.

Both Canon lenses features constant F2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range. The CN-E 15.5-47 t2.8 is a compact zoom which Canon announced in 2012.

The patent for the 18-85mm seems to share the same optical formula as the already released CN-E 15.5-47mm f/2.8 lens.
