Canon Patent Application: More Canon RF Macro lenses

This patent application deals with macro lenses, something the RF mount certainly is missing right now.  A good 100mm macro is a certainty to come out for the RF mount. It's just a matter of when.

Here we have just that, a macro lens application and a series of embodiments all around the 100mm focal length.
