It’s not clear to me why you want to use an M6 when you already have an R6. For portraits the M6 doesn’t really bring anything extra to the party, especially considering the $$$ involved in buying the M6 outfit.

The quality of the M6 II with Sigma 56/1.4 or 32/1.4 can hold its own with a 5D IV with 85/1.8 or Zeiss ZE 50/1.4 provided you shoot in raw and are careful with noise and sharpness settings during raw conversion. The M6 II sensor is a little noisier like-for-like when shooting but raw processing sorts it out. These M lenses are probably sharper than the EF ones I’ve mentioned.

The M6 is best used for travel and situations where its much smaller bulk and weight are a real advantage.

And that's exactly what the OP is saying - he wants to potentially replace his travel Fuji with a travel Canon.

I suggest buying the EF 85/1.8 with an EF – R adapter for use on the R6.
