I'm still new to owning the R6, but it feels weird adjusting exposure settings on the lens, I'm still trying out the different options, but I'm not sure I will find a viable use for the control ring in my own shooting.

If you use manual lenses as well then it makes sense to assign aperture to the control ring for consistency. Other than that I do not find much use for it either. If there were fewer dials on the camera then probably it would be a bigger deal.

I don't, and all other Canon lenses I've ever used have had electronic aperture control.

I'm currently experimenting with having focus area selection on the control ring. Seems OK so far, logically being next to the focus ring seems to work. But I still kind of prefer to have that function on the body, maybe I'm inflexible.
