Hello Pierre,
In my opinion the 35 and 90 is the best choice for you.
There are no limitations of any of the different lens designs in combination with the 
M6.
I would reccommend as fast and as new as you can afford.
Prices are between $150 for a 90/1:4.0 to $3500 for a 35/1:1.4 ASPH.

      Greetings,


                 Michiel.
