If you don't need the close-focus, then by all means head towards the Samyang. I've read great reviews.

Every great photograph was taken with a camera worse than yours

I recently purchased a R6.  I have been doing some shooting with a borrowed EF 85mm f1.8 USM and have really liked the results for portrait type shots.  Do you find the RF 85 f2.0 to be superior?  I have used the 85mm f1.8 for indoor sports, but maybe the AF on the RF 85 is not up to that task?
