Guys, I'm sceptical. I Have an EOS R with RF50mm and some of EF lens like 85mm 1.2, 24-105, 100-400L etc. I want to buy the 70-200 2.8 so bad, but I don't think it's worth it because the RF line will arive this year. Would you still buy it ? And I'm thinking to buy the Ef 35mm 1.4 too. But again, why i'm buying EF lens if it's past! Damn, don't know what to do. The new lens will arive later this year. To muchh time

In a rough environment, the EF version might be better, because it has an internal zoom mechanism.

The RF version will probably be a better lens in every other way, but not that much better.   I would expect the difference to be like the difference between the EF and RF 24-105 or 35 IS.
