I don't have any numbers, but to me the difference is significant.
The M6II focuses faster, but for the sticking-with-the-subject-part of AF the R is better. The R will still leave you wanting the R6 though.
For speed: no. The R focuses slower. For sticky tracking the R is better, but worth it is something else.
Damn.. so i guess im skipping the R and go for the R6 then..
R6 and RF 35 f1.8 + RF 85 F2 will be way to go
but hopefully IF a RP mk ii or R mk ii comes out before i achieve my R6 fundings and carries the dual pixel 2.0 like the r10,r7,r6,r5 and price is cheaper than the R6. That would be a great option for me (fingers cross) till then eyes on R6 i guess.. ( target mid of 2023)
Well, I wouldn't recommend the RF 85mm f/2.0 IS stm + R for events work. The body could AF a bit better, but with this lens combined I think the M6II + 56mm f/1.4 using the right technique (single point AF doing the tracking yourself with the touch screen) will give better results for AF.
If you want best AF the R6 would still leave you with the problem which affordable fast and accurate focusing prime you should get. If you're going with a different mount anyway the Sony FE platform might give you better options, especially when budget is a factor. A used A7III + Samyang FE 85mm f/1.4 or Sony 85mm f/1.8 might be the better option. The RF 85mm f/2.0 IS stm is a very nice lens with some strong points, but it's AF is not suitable for event work. I'd even prefer the M6II + 56mm f/1.4 over the R + RF 85mm f/2.0 IS stm for AF performance..
Tempted for sony since im upgrading from the dead eos M system anyway, basically is like starting new with all the fancy RF lens. But where im from, a7iii price is just a tad higher if not the same as the eos R and the a7iv is about 10-15% higher than the R6. Not to mention the sony ecosystem and outdated a7iii interface. So i think canon will be my main pick here (i do love and respect the capabilities for the sony system, not to mention the 3rd party accessibility unlike canon RF)
But since the 85mm f2 is not suitable for fast phase environment, any other recommendations? Like the sigma non art ef 85mm 1.4(a used art version is 50-60% more expensive than a brand new 85mm f2 LoL) or the rf samyang 85mm 1.4 or viltrox 85mm 1.4 or better yet, just adapt the vietnam war tech ef 85mm 1.8 haha.
I've heard that with the latest body(r6 r5) 3rd party lenses are buggy and not accurate although its fast in the focusing department.
