Hi Michael, I've used both the Nikon and Leica 35/1.4s you mention. Both are excellent lenses (though the Leica is better IMHO), but for focusing ease in low light I have to recommend the Leica. No experience of the Canon, but as you already have the ultimate available light camera in the M6 why worry about it. The older non-aspheric Leica 35/1.4 would match any equivalent SLR lens if price is an issue.
