Your 85 f/1.8 is reasonably good. Stop it down and it's very sharp, enough for the R6. The smartest is to use the lens You have.

The RF version is for ekstreme perfection. I chose the Zeiss Otus because I found one like new used for a good price. The Sigma is almost perfect to a bargain price, the smart choice if You not have a lens.

I like my EF 85 f1.8 and use it when the camera is just thrown in a bag on the bike or kayak. For when I worry about damage.

My RF 85 f1.2 is on the camera the most.  It works well for most subjects I want to photograph.
