Got bored and did a "what if" based on the apertures of the produced white primes of Canon. As Canon had a history of using a 1/3 f-stop I applied that to this little exercise.

As some of the lenses were designed years ago the weight for these fictitious lenses would be lower with the help of modern design and materials.
