Canon is busy with the development of new lenses. A new patent reported by CanonWatch shows these three new RF zooms:

• RF 16-28mm f/2.8
• RF 15-28mm f/2.8-4
• RF 15-28mm f/4-5.6 IS

And we may get a new 35mm f/1.2 RF lens this summer too (Soruce: CanonWatch).

In his latest LUMIX live-session, Sean Robinson did place another easter egg. While picking up a card reader that “accidentally” fell to the ground, he showed a printing on the back of his t-shirt: “S1CK A.F.”

Likely a hint for a new camera with phase detection AF? Sean did a similar “eater egg” action before the GH6 launch. And I guess this time he is doing it for a new S camera!

Thanks Harry!
