Hello,
EF 50 and 85 1.2 has been proven to deliver amazing portraits for years, they also where working great on 50mpx 5DsR.
they are working great on EOS R with the adapter.
I wouldn't buy them new, find a good used one and you will be more than happy.

Thank you.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. The newer lenses may have more modern optical formulas and better coatings, but the differences won't be that major, and the price is basically 2x.

And then I can save my money for my "dream" lens.*

* the Canon Dream Lens if you didn't get that reference.
