Richard CanonNews / Thursday, October 3, 2019 / Categories: Canon Patents Canon Patent Application: Canon RF 70-200mm, 70-240mm In this patent application Canon certainly appears to be focusing on the 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM that is coming out later this year for the Canon RF mount. Buried in this patent application is another intriguing lens; a 70-240mm F4.0. It stands to reason that Canon will also be looking at the F4 zoom trinity as it's very popular on the EF mount, so could Canon be looking at expanding the 70-200 F4 to 70-240?
