I just remembered reading that -6EV af was *with f/1.2 lenses in the press release when the R was announced.

That’s the spec from Canon.   I’d like for someone with a light meter to test it.   It can’t be that hard.   Even if you don’t have an F 1.2 lens, you can just add an EV for every stop of aperture.

With the 6D at -3 and the R at -6, an F4 lens should only be one stop better on the R than an F2 lens on the 6D.    It seems a lot better than that, especially in terms of accuracy.
