Sony filed a new patent in Japan for a FE 28-70mm f/2 lens. Here are the details:
Two new patents from Tamron and Sigma: Tamron filed a patent for a SP 85mm f/1.4 Di VC USD full frame DSLR lens. Sigma filed a patent in Japan for a 30-300mm f/2.8-3.5 Super 35 lens. Maybe Sigma is getting also into the cinema lens segment?
Few days ago I reported on a new Olympus 28mm f/2 full frame mirrorless lens patent. Today Egami spotted another Olympus patent filed in Japan for a 35mm f/1.4 full frame mirrorless lens. Just like the previous 28mm f/2, this 35mm f/1.4 lens is calculated for a sensor slightly smaller than a “real” full frame.
The latest Olympus patent filed in Japan is very interesting – it’s for a 28mm f/2 full frame mirrorless lens. I guess we can now officially start the Olympus full frame mirrorless camera rumor (of course filed patents are no guarantee for future products). Additional patent information:
→ Canon EF 24-300mm f/3.5-5.6 USM lens patent. → Canon CN-E 70-200mm f/2.8 lens patent (Super 35mm). → Canon has an interesting patent where the sensor of a DSLR camera is moving forward in order to use the camera with EF-M lenses. → Canon EF-M 55-300mm f/4.5-6.3 DO IS STM lens patent. → Sigma has a new patent for a 120-600mm […]
