I'm more curious why you think it's impossible for Canon do to both lenses.

I don't doubt Canon could do both lenses, but where are the rumors or Canon roadmap for compact RF zooms similar to the Nikon lenses? To me, these make more sense than Canon proving they can make lenses that haven't been made before.

To be honest, they could have already done the patents for the more common lenses, and just slipped it into a patent application that got missed.

24-85mm and 24-70 F4.0 was done btw on patents

here's another exotic lens that may be coming, I know it's not what you want to hear though

Thanks.

I have no problem with Canon making radical lens designs, so long as it doesn't mean I'm stuck with having to use an EF adapter for 'normal' lenses any longer than necessary.

People have different priorities of course, but for me, smaller, lighter and relatively affordable lenses that perform like their EF cousins are much more attractive than esoteric, expensive lenses.
