Hi,

has anyone experience with this lens on M6 II (or any other M body)?

Is it working properly?
Actually I was going to get an EF 100mm F2 but that deal went rotten...

I'd recommend the 100L instead

That's 160mm in stead of 136mm full frame equivalent. Can be either a good or bad thing.

I expect the Tamron to be sharper at f/2.8, especially at longer distances.

on my m6II, at 7 fps, and dxo PL, the 100L hits focus 7 for 7, and is a dream setup for me with macro capability, portrait capability, and a mfd of 1 foot

if you need shorter, go with the 56 f1.4
