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

I am looking at getting the ND filter equipped Canon adapter.  It would be nice to switch lenses and have the ND filter as part of the camera instead of one filter per lens.  So in that case, buying some EF lenses is preferred over the RF lenses.

Buy used EF lenses?  Buy used lenses as people purge their EF collection to buy the RF 50mm, RF 28-70mm, and the RF 70-200mm?
