Richard CanonNews / Thursday, November 14, 2019 / Categories: Canon Patents Canon Patent Application: Some odd DO telephotos These have to be some of the strangest lens designs I've seen. These are obviously experimental in nature. But they are some very simplistic (and very slow) supertelephoto lenses using DO elements.

The lens characteristics are; Focal Length 780.00 F-Number 11.00 Half Field Angle 1.59 (.degree.) Image Height 21.64 Total Length of 389.25 Lens BF 127.73 Focal Length 585.00 F-Number 10.99 Half Field Angle 2.12 (.degree.)
