The patent states a focal length of 26.62 mm, maybe Canon will round this up to 28 mm.A lot of people will be happy for f/1.4 primes to become reality.
26 mm seems to be a pretty unusual FL but surely interesting
I still don't understand this focal length.
It seems the teasing Canon USA made last week was a reference to a partnership with Ryan Fundation (https://www.usa.canon.com/newsroom/2024/20240507-rsf / )
And Hasselblad just introduced a 25mm lens for their ‘medium’ format as well.
Zeiss has a long 25mm tradition (Biogon, Milvus, Batis, Distagon). Same with 20-21mm lenses. Some companies prefer 20mm, Leica and Zeiss opt for 21mm, No reason, just a choice.
Wich is btw also true for other Standard-FL. Remember all the various 55 und 58mm Primes - instead the "usual" 50mm. And of course the Portrait-FL is not always 85 mm like Canon, Zeiss and Nikon. Leica used to have 90mm - except the 80mm Summilux-R and the 75mm Summicron/lux-M.

We have 3 R5c cameras which have been our workhorses for years. But they we only supposed to see us through until a professional camera came out. It’s been 2 years. Our rigs a crazy to make it work as a good cine camera. Cage, rails, v-mount plate with cables, hdmi to sdi coverts with cables, useable monitors with cables. It’s great but it’s an absolute mess.
Could be. But normally Canon would round this up to the "better side".
If Canon makes a full-frame 25 mm lens they call it 24.
