The Canon 17mm-40mm F4 L USM lens is considered as among the more popular lenses of Canon. It is one of the best-selling lenses in the lineup of Canon and it appears that a successor may be in the offing.

A recently-discovered patent filing by Canon showed the supposed details of a replacement for this particular lens.

The new lens will reportedly come with a variable aperture range of F2.8 up to F4. The F2.8 aperture of the upcoming replacement to the Canon 17mm-40mm F4 L USM lens will facilitate the capture of sharper images under lowlight conditions. This is reportedly an enhancement from the Canon 17mm-40mm F4 L USM lens.

The moderate pricing coupled with its high quality has made the Canon 17mm-40mm F4 L USM lens among the most sought-after lenses of Canon. The F4 aperture of the lens along with its ultra-wide angle has also contributed to its popularity especially when photography enthusiasts use it on a full-frame digital camera.

The Canon 17mm-40mm F4 L USM lens is among the cheapest L lenses in the market. For the moment, no other details are available on the upcoming successor to this widely used Canon lens.
