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

A big +1

For pro event shooting, this is your entry ticket. The R6 is far more capable than the R and RP as far as Eye AF goes (or the M6ii for that matter). The RF 85/2 is fast enough to do events, but if you need faster AF (for sports), then the Sigma 85 Art or the Canon 85/1.4L would be viable options.

I forgot about the Canon EF f/1.4 L.   People have reported that's the fastest focusing 85mm you can get for the R6, better than the Sigma Art.  Probably the best choice for events beside the RF f/1.2.

Grow your business using these basic primes, then save everything up for one of the gob-smacking RF standard zooms (28-70/2 if you can swing it, otherwise the 24-70/2.8). And then the powerful RF 70-200/2.8 after that.

Add DxO PL5 no matter what kit you shoot!

If you want to stay cheap as possible, keep using the (amazing) little M6ii, and add the excellent EF-M 32/1.4 (on sale now). Stay with Spot AF. Keeper rates rival my R5/R6, but I admit that Eye AF is very addictive!

Best of luck with your decision!

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
