Just picked up a Canon M3 w/adapter +22mm

Hi guys, I saw a really good deal and picked this bad boy up for $360 with an OEM canon adapter + 22mm f2.  I been shooting with the 80d for a few months but just didn't like to carry it around with me when traveling so I decided to get something similar but lighter and really couldn't say no to the price.

That being said I tried the M3 +adapter with my 17-55mm f2.8 but it hunts rather slow.  Is it because of the adapter or is it because older AF technology compared to the DPAF from the 80d?  Will getting a M6 be much better with the 17-55mm?  I know the 17-55 is rather big and no real point of using a smaller camera with the body but the lens is just amazing to let go.  I also like the compactness of the mirrorless bodies so when I actually just need to use it with the 22mm f2 i can just slip it in my pocket.

Thanks for the help!
