New Canon patent describes the 50mm f/3.5 macro IS lens design for a yet non existent Full Frame mirrorless camera!

CanonWatch reports about a newly published Canon lens patent. And this one is quite interesting as the 50mm f/3.5 macro IS lens has been designed for the use on a Full Frame mirrorless system camera. The fact the lens has IS could also mean the Canon camera will not have on sensor stabilization as the Sony A7II/A7rII/A7sII series.

But we have yet zero clue about when Canon will launch that new system camera.
