RF L lens and R6 or EF L lens and R6 ii

I would love to get opinions as I return to photography. Plan to shoot mostly portraits and dog sports with a full frame camera and 24-70. My last setup years ago was 5d II and 24-70. Go anywhere and do anything setup for me.

Now I’m looking into a new kit and pretty sold on the r6. Needing to buy the 24-70 also I’m deciding if it’s worth it to put extra money in buying the r6 mark ii and the older ef 24-70 adapted or the r6 with the newer rf 24-70. The price comes out to be quite similar for both kits.

At this time I’m not very worried about a second lens or having money left over for that as I want to shoot more and make a better informed decision.

Thank you!

There are numerous sites you can Google "R6 vs R6 Mark II" that can list differences.

If you are happy with the results you are getting with the EF24-70 it will be as good or better on either R6 variant.

The improved AF in the Mark II would probably serve you well in your action shooting.
