While an RF 35mm f/1.4 lens was expected long before this one arrived, Canon had another high-performing option in their easily adaptable EF lineup, the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM Lens

The MTF charts indicate the RF lens is optically improved from the EF II.

The Canon RF 35mm F1.4 L VCM vs. EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM Lens comparison shows the RF lens an impressive 7.4 oz (210g) lighter and modestly smaller.

Also smaller are the RF lens's filter threads, 67mm vs. 72mm. The RF lens has a removable rear filter holder.

The RF lens has 11 aperture blades vs. 9 to keep stopped down out-of-focus highlights round and maintain overall smooth bokeh. It also has an aperture ring, control ring, and lens function button to its advantage. The RF lens has VCM and USM AF motors (far better for video) vs. Ring USM, but the EF lens has a slightly higher maximum magnification of 0.21x vs. 0.18x. Making the decision easy is the RF lens's much lower price.
