I agree about the EF 70-300 II NanoUSM on the R body, I love mine. Another that I think is even better on the R body than the DSLR is the 85mm f1.8

I was going back and forth with the EF 85mm f1.8. I definitely wanted a fast 85mm and almost pulled the trigger on that lens, but in the end I bought the new Viltrox RF 85mm f1.8. It's a much newer lens, native RF mount and was getting amazing reviews. I've only taken a few shots so far, but wow, what a great lens.

Taken with Viltrox RF 85mm. No profile for this lens yet

I had seen a review on that lens but went with the EF version as I still have a couple of DSLR bodies and wanted to use it there as well.
