As far as I am aware, only the Nikon rangefinder lenses that were made in Leica thread mount are compatible with Leica rangefinder bodies; the other (bayonet) mounts they made aren't. In this case, the thread mount - --> M bayonet adapter has the job of bringing up the framelines, so get the right adapter and you get the right framelines. More or less- an 85mm Nikkor would go on the 90mm adapter. That's the one I've got, and the rangefinder focusing works fine. - -- JB
