I had bought the RF 50mm F1.2 L & RF 24-70 F2.8 L. I was considering adding the RF 85mm F1.2 L as well. I already had the RF 70-200 F2.8 L so I simply didn't purchase the 85mm 1.2 and I returned the 50mm 1.2 & 24-70 F2.8 in favor of the 28-70.

I’m sure since I bought the RF 50 1.2L awhile ago it can’t be returned so will keep it vs selling it. I’m still strongly considering the 28-70 but will sell the EF 24-70.

Of course it can't replace the 50, 85 & 24-70 for most. But for myself and my needs, it honestly did. And with that being said, despite it's size, weight and cost, it saves me a ton of costs, bag space and weight.

Personally, I think the 50mm 1.2 is the best lens I've used. 28-70 is the next best.

I've never had the 85 1.2 but I'd sure it's likely the best.

Indeed, keep your 50mm for those times that you need 1.2 for better creativity, for sure.
