ps. Buy the genuine Canon adapter (3rd party can introduce veiling glare).

Evidence?

Sure:

That’s what I thought you might be referring to and it doesn’t seem to apply to RF-EF adapters

None of the OP's options (1, 2, or 3) involved an EF to RF adapter (or vice-versa).

but instead to one specific EF-m to RF adapter.

?? EF-M to RF adapters (and vice-versa) don't exist.

And in any case it's not about just one specific adapter. You have to read the whole thread I linked to (including the OP). There were test photos submitted by the OP (Lumenite) using the Viltrox EF to EF-M adapter, myself using the Fotodiox Pro EF to EF-M adapter, plus links in that thread to others doing testing.

I’ve personally tested out four different models of RF-EF adapters and haven’t been able to reproduce this issue. I think you’re probably pretty safe using third party adapters.

That's good to know about EF to RF adapters (I've tested my Canon adapter and it's clean).

However for these M Series cameras we need to be using the EF to EF-M adapters. And my advice to the OP was to buy a genuine Canon OEM adapter if/when he purchases his M6ii kit.

Ok that’s where I got confused.
