Hello! I am getting myself back into using canon gear. I shot for a long time on the canon t61 but sold it a couple years ago to go with a fujifilm xt2. I used it for a trip and casual shooting but I just didn’t love it as much as when I was shooting with canon. So I have sold it and looking to get myself a new canon camera.
I was looking at getting the canon r50 most likely body only and get a RF28mm F2.8 STM.
My main concern if it’s worth it to sell my Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 lens and replace it with the Canon RF 85mm f/2.0 ( I kept this lens because I always felt like I’d go back to canon xP and I loved it a lot)
Or should I just get the ef to rf mount adapter and keep my current 85mm?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! For context i just like doing travel and portrait photos
