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

It depends, and in my opinion, if an RF version is coming up, then the answer is an easy no, wait for the RF version instead. Those glass will come with an all-new optical formula. For more exotic lenses like the upcoming Tamron 35-150mm 2.8-4 or Sigma's 20mm 1.4 and 105mm 1.4, then yes definitely worth it.
