New Patent: Canon EF 135mm f/2 Lens with Apodization Filters
Canon has filed a new patent for 135mm f/2 lens with apodization filters.

Apodization is an optical filtering technique, and its literal translation is “removing the foot”. It is the technical term for changing the shape of a mathematical function, an electrical signal, an optical transmission or a mechanical structure. In optics, it is primarily used to remove Airy disks caused by diffraction around an intensity peak, improving the focus.
