Canon Patent Application: Canon RF 15-35mm F4L

This is a lens I'm certainly waiting for.  We have seen rumors that an ultra wide F4 lens is coming out in 2021.  Would I get one of these.  I'm waiting for this before jumping into the RF mount to be honest. 

Canon states;

The present invention is compact, and it is an object of various aberrations including chromatic aberration to provide a well corrected zoom lens.

Make it happen Canon ;)

The 15-45mm lens design looks more realistic with a 19mm back focus distance than the 16-35mm F4 lens with the rather short back focus distance.
