The sigma 56mm is in the same ball park, and I wonder what happens if you compare it to the RF 85mm f/2.0. It could be close.

IMO it depends on what you’re shooting.  I love the Sigma 56 on the M6ii.  The RF 85/2 just edges it out in sharpness, but the bokeh can be busy if you’re not very careful with your backgrounds.

I've purchased an M6mkII next to my R.

I say Great Balls O’ Fire!  

M System + R System is a match made in heaven!

Reasons:

11-22mm

Outstanding performer esp when paired with 32 MP.

32mm

My true love.

50-100mm f/1.8 (as I already own it)

The improved grip on the M6ii will help a little here.

future 100-400mm

The Canon 100-400ii on the M6ii is lights out.  Even the 1.4x iii works wonderfully with this combo.

I just bought the little Laowa 65mm 2x Macro this week (as a quick and easy alternative to the big ol’ 100L Macro) and preliminary testing is very promising.  (hint hint)  

Have fun with your new toy ‘Storm, and be sure to tell us all about it!!
