I appreciate you doing these samples as I know what to expect from your output and thus gives me some appreciation/context of the color response of the R6.

It only just dawned on me that the Auto WB on the R6 handled the shots quite well where a CPL filter was used.  On my other cameras (Mirrorless, DSLRs, Compacts) the use of a CPL filter tends to warm colors up and can affect greenery and skies in a negative way.  They also tend to enhance contrast.  In the case of this cameras the images required no special color adjustments.

Any chance I can request you do some work with the EF 24mm f/1.4L and EF 135mm f/2L (at your leisure of course)? Curiosity on IBIS response, color response and I also know what to expect from both from your time with them in the past on the 6D, which I'm a fan of it's color response.

Will do.  I may take a short trip with both of those lenses shortly. I am just about to get some shut-eye but will take one of these lenses with me for a walk tomorrow when I get up.  Will report in with samples.  I really enjoyed shooting with the EOS 6D.  It was very reliable and the image quality was always appealing.  The R6 is the camera I bought to replace it.  I really do feel that it's the mirrorless equivalent to the 6D but with quite a lot more capability, features and potential under the hood.

Thanks again

BTW, I'm holding unto the R (original) for now, but the R6 is tracking on my radar. In no rush here as the R itself is quite capable.

I was all set to buy myself a standard EOS R when the R6 was announced.  If it hadn't surfaced, I would have bought an R to run alongside with the EOS Ra that I use.
