If you are not keeping 80D or another Canon dslr/M, you should sell it.

The only downside of new RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM is STM motor. It's not the newer Nano USM type. So it's slightly slower than USM during AF.

However, it gains 1:2 macro, closer focusing distance and 9 aperature blades vs 8 aperature blades on EF 35mm f/2 IS USM, PLUS the new programmable command ring. And gosh for the first time, IT DOES include lenshood and lens pouch!!

I am currently keeping some of my EF lens until there are more RF lens and wait until the price to settle down a bit. New lenses are always more expensive at the start.
