i have the original non-IS with the R6
AF is slightly faster i feel on my 1DX, but obviously miss out on a lot of AF functionality.
Speed wise its very good, slightly behind my mk1 IS 400mm 2.8.
Panning side on or angle, no problem.
Subjects at a distance towards you no problem - you may encounter issues at closer distance but i cant say if the mk1 and mk2 are better but I would assume so.

Galah on approach, about a 50% crop of frame, run through LR+Topaz (r6+600mm

Nice capture And nice to see a fine old optic still working well.

Guessing from the outer part of one wing, electronic shutter used?

What are you getting at with the wing comment?

Zoom in on the birds left wing (right hand side of picture) - look at the outer 20% for artefacts/distortion.   It is also longer appearing than the birds right wing.

A lovely shot, just similar effect to what I have got and I have attributed to rolling shutter in electronic shutter on my R5 and R10.
