I absolutely would buy EF lenses, because there are so many good buys! In fact, since I got my first R for my business back in October, I have sold off any non-Canon glass and bought a 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS, 16-35L F4 IS and 100L f/2.8 Macro IS. Of these three, the only one purchased new was the 100, and I bought that lens specifically for the portrait side of the business to be used a majority of the time on a 5D MKII in the studio. Last week I bought the 16-35L F4 IS to replace a 17-40L f4, which needs to be sent to CPS for tuning and will be put into a back-up bag. Because I shoot so much real estate and architecture, the 16-35 range suits my shooting style perfectly. The one lens that I really want to buy again would be the 100-400L f4.5-5.6 IS ( I made a bunch of money with that lens!). Even though I wouldn't use it that often, paying sub-$600 for a clean low use first gen copy is worth the money.
