50mm 1.2 EF to RF or wait something like 50 1.4/1.8 with IS?

Move to R from 6D about 2 months, one of the reasons was I wanted my old EF 50mm 1.2 to be reborn with EOS R. (70%+ soft image even stop down or have focus shift issues at 6D)

In EOS R focus shift gone, but the result is still not as good as other lenes, even compared with EF 40mm at f/2.8 or RF 35mm.

Personally want 50 with IS, like RF 35mm is fine, small size light weight good result, but I don't thing the dream lens will come true soon.

Now I have a deal to trade-in old EF 50 to RF at USD940. (gray market goods)

I planning trade it after CES 2020, hope Canon will announce something interesting.

Honestly, if you want a 50 / 1.2, then snatch that deal while you can!  Even if a 50 / 1.2 isn't that important, and a 50 / 1.4 or even 50 / 1.8 (possibly with IS) would do, and even do better, do the deal and sell the RF 50 / 1.2L when the lens you want does come out -- you'll most likely come out ahead.
