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

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying the Tamron is sharper at f/2.8. There's also more light available when needed.  Magnification factor is pretty bad admittedly.

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

That one has no IS.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
