I am moving to mirrorless. Which EF lenses did you keep?

I have the follow:

- 24-70 2.8 L (first version)

- 70-200 2.8 L (first version)

- 24mm 1.4 L

- 17-40mm 4.0 L

- Tamron 150-600mm

- 50mm 1.4

- 85mm 1.8

All of these are old lenses with much better equivalents available today. I'd possibly keep the 24/1.4L if it's a Mark II, but even that is good rather than great. I totally get that you've built up a very useful collection of affordable lenses, but you asked the question and I'm afraid the honest advice is to use this as an opportunity to move onward and upward.

If you let us know which lenses are most important to you and very importantly what is your budget, we can suggest where to start with replacements. You don't have to do it all at once, obviously.
