Canon Patents 500mm f/4, 500mm f/5.6, 600mm f/4, 800mm f/5.6 DO Lenses

Egami, the Japanese Photography blog spotted a new Canon patent. Four new Canon DO lenses are covered by the patent. These lenses are Canon EF 500mm f/4 DO, Canon EF 500mm f/5.6 DO, Canon EF 600mm f/4 DO, Canon EF 800mm f/5.6 DO.

Canon also filed a patent 30mm f/2.8, 18-90mm f/3.5-5.6, 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses several days ago. Below are the details of the patent publication of the new DO lense filed by Canon.

• How to reduce the size of the large-aperture super telephoto lens
  • Effective diameter of the first group with the largest
  • I reduce the number of the first group
    • It is necessary to reduce aberration by increasing the number
    • Can not reduce the aberration and reduce the number
  • I increase a refractive power of the first group
    • The thickness of the lens increases, the effect of weight reduction is canceled
    • Impact of manufacturing error is large high refractive index
• Canon patent
  • The aspherical in the first group
  • Performing a variance of sensitivity was composed of opposite sign component of the first group, and also, prevent an increase in thickness
  • DOE is provided to correct chromatic aberration with a small number of lenses
  • Inner focus
  • Anti-shake
