Canon patent for EF 28-70mm F2.8 USM lens

Not sure why Canon filed that patent two years ago, since the old Canon EF 28-70mm f/2.8 L USM lens was replaced by the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM.

The details:

  • Patent Publication No. 2010-145831

    • filled 2008/12/19

    • short full length
  • Distortion is big in wide angle
    • astigmatism turns worse if it use the aspherical where the quantity is big
    • problem solving by a certain a lens was arranged in symmetry, and denying the distortion
  • Use aspherical
    • improve distortion
    • Because it is not necessary to make non-spherical surface quantity big, the astigmatism does not turn worse
