Canon Patent Application: Canon RF 100mm F2.0 and other primes

In this patent application we discover quite a few embodiments outside of the Canon RF 85mm F2.0 which has already been released, including the 100mm F2.0.  Canon on the EF mount, had both the 85mm F1.8 and the 100mm F2.0 has the low cost bang for the back portrait primes.  It would stand to reason that Canon would do the same for the RF mount.  These two extra embodiments are also .5x macro lenses.
