Canon Patent Application: Some Curious RF Consumer Super-Zooms

We have discovered a curious patent application, while I think that this really is about the 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM, I do think that some of these other designs may have merit. While the speeds are slow, consider that to get anywhere close to some of these extended focal ranges requires extenders for mere mortals, and if so, the aperture range isn't that bad then.
