The EF 35mm f1.4L and the EF 50mm f1.2L. This new lens just focuses a bit faster and better and is just overall much more consistent at the wider apertures. The EF primes need to be stopped down to f2 to get really good quality out of them and even so at f2 the new RF lens is better.

I may agree if you are talking about the older 35mm f/1.4 L (did not try that combo). But the 35mm f/1.4 L II is better than the RF 28-70 zoom.

Not in every way. The 35L II tends to have much more veiling flare than the 28-70L. It also has vastly inferior AF. Which is sad because the 28-70L is still a little clunky, albeit accurate, when it comes to AF.

Do not agree with any of these. AF depends first and foremost on the camera when using mirrorless, and the Canon mirrorless systems handles EF lenses very well.
