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.

I have the RF and it is amazing! But I was never a hater on the EF 50 1.2. The EF was never the sharpest lens, but had awesome character. With the RF, you get biting sharpness combined with character! $940 cost to upgrade seems like a good deal!
