Does a 28/90 LTM-M adapter bring up the 35/135 framelines on an M4?

Hi, I am looking for an adapter to my M4 + 2.8/35mm ltm lens asap and there is only a Voigtlander 28/90mm available locally. Since the widest frameline of the M4 is 35/135 is that the one automatically selected if I attach this adapter? Wouldn't wait for a 35/135mm adapter if this works the same with my camera:) Thanks

If it is marked 28/90 it will bring up the 90mm frame. There are plenty of 35/135 adaptors available on e bay. The genuine Leitz ones can be expensive but a cheaper one should work ok.

Pyrogallol is correct but I’d advise you get a proper adapter from Leica/Voigtlander/Rayqual brands. I had trouble with different cheap  adapters for my Elmar 35mm LTM lens until I found a Voigtlander copy which worked perfectly.

Leica/Voigtlander/Rayqual are the best according to my experience. I own 1xVoigtländer, 2xRayqual and 4x Leitz Leica.

I've had Leica and Voigtländer adapters which have been fine. The cheap unnamed brands worked, but felt rough in use and had sharp edges to the fingers - I didn't like them.
