By on

Canon filed a new patent in Japan. The new patent describes the EF 200-600mm f/4.5-5.6L USM lens which looks like to be a new super-telephoto zoom lens for full-frame sensor Canon DSLRs.

From the patent application we can say the upcoming full-frame lens will be a L-grade model. EF 200-600mm f/4.5-5.6L USM lens will feature USM (UltraSonic Motor) which means that the lens will autofocus faster than standard models.

The lens looks like a budget superzoom lens for Canon full-frame DSLRs. See the patent details below.
