Did you get the repair-center firmware upgrade for the G1 that came our for the R? Many people (myself included) report no AF at all with the G1 on the R5, and I assume the R6 might be the same.

Yes... It was a rude awakening when I put the Tammy on the R6 for the first time and found errors popping up on the Camera.  After a quick google search, I determined the probable cause and sent the lens back for the required firmware upgrade.  Got it in just under the wire.  (Warranty was ending a few months later.)
