Hi everyone. I will be upgrading to the RF body within the next 6 months from my 80D. Does it make sense to get the EF 35mm f/2 IS now already or wait until I can afford the EOS R and then get the RF 35?

Both lenses are priced pretty much even. From the MTF charts it seems that the new RF 35 should be a bit better... Thoughts?

I have the 35mm f/2 and use it very often on my 80D. It’s a marvellous lens. But if you intend to upgrade to R and don’t need this FL now, I‘d probably wait.
