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?

If you want to keep your 80D, the EF lens might be better, it is useful on APS-C. If you go R only, only using R lenses will give you an uncluttered way of shooting
