Canon Is Developing EF 1000mm f/5.6 IS DO Monster Lens.

If you thought that 800mm was not enough for you then Canon heard you and is working on a 1000mm lens. A new patent registered by Canon shows that they have developed the right optics formula for this super telephoto lens.

According to patent publication No. 2016-102852, Canon has developed the optical formula to create a massive EF 1000mm f/5.6 DO lens. DO stands for Differential optics. 

Here are the complete details of the patent filing for Canon EF 1000mm f/5.6 IS DO :

• Patent Publication No. 2016-102852
• Published 2016.6.2
• Filing date 2014.11.27
• Zoom ratio 1.00
• Focal length 950.00
• F-number 5.80
• Angle of view 1.30
• Image height 21.64
• Overall length of the lens 485.94
• BF 0.40
• Canon patent
• Positive and negative Shibomake
• Diffractive optical element (first group)
• Inner focus (the second group)

 

A 1000mm lens would definitely be great replacement for 800mm lens from Canon. At this zoom it will work as an specialized lens for specific uses like wildlife and sports. On a lighter note if you can afford this lens then you will also need to afford someone who will carry it for you. 🙂
