1) I need to upgrade my ageing EOS 450D

2) At max I upload in flickr or print them on 13x18 cm if they are family portraits.

your 15-85 will work much better on the R than on a 450D you will have better dynamic range and better ISO evan in crop mode on the R and waaaay better AF..also if you get into video the 15-85 will be a good lens at the R shoots 4K video in crop anyway

looking at what you do you won't be MP deficient anyway ..but thier will be a lot of unrealised potential

One hand side I like looking through the view finder and still owns many OM-1n

your manual focus lenses from your OM cameras will work splendidly adapted on an R.. focus is easy with focus peaking or the 10X loupe that you can have anyplace on the tuch LCD in a couple of dabs and a swipe adaptors are cheap on ebay ...be warned MF glass it can become ....addictive

I have Zuikos from 24mm - 135mm except 100mm and macros. I rather sell 15-85mm, if Zuikos goes well with R/RP.
If I get it right then I may also need OM-EF adapter + EF-EOS R?

You can get adapters straight from OM to RF (or OM to EF-M too). The minor advantage of going the OM to EF to RF route is that the OM adapters are very slim, so buying a lens for each adapter would not increase the size of the adapted lenses very much. The big advantage of going the OM to EF to RF route is that the match-triangles focus aid of the EOS R needs to know that there's a lens mounted. Canon does that by the body checking for an electrical response from the lens, and a chipped OM to EF adapter will give that. Some older chips, however, will confuse the camera. The RP doesn't have that focussing aid anyway. Otherwise you can use focus peaking or focus magnification, but not both at the same time. I don't think anybody makes chipped lens mount converters to RF mount yet, even though they would only need to tell the camera an adapted EF lens was mounted and that can't be too difficult.

Now I am strongly biased to R/Rp and perhaps some Zuiko f/2 lenses. I turned 40 this year and still shoot film and have a nice darkroom in the basement.
I let go 15-85mm and start saving for R/Rp

cameras (please to look through the VF) and some medium formats. And on other hand modern tech and compactness are desired at many occasions
