For me, Adapter "swapping" was the main issue as to retaining my EF lens's.

If you stay with all EF, you can leave the Adapter on an "R" body; whereas if you mix EF & RF, unless you have two Bodies, or a separate Adapter for each EF lens your "toting", you\re not only dealing with lens changing, but fumbling with Adapter swapping as well.

That's an important point.

I have the RF 85mm f/2.0 as my only RF lens. It's not the most used lens, so it's not a very big deal. But when you have 2 frequently used EF lenses and one frequently used RF lens it can become annoying to do the adapter swapping.

I love 50mm (equivalence)
