I've never used the Canon 135/4 LTM lens but I own and regularly use a  
Canon 135/3.5 LTM lens with an adapter on my M3. I think that they are  
essentially the same lens. It takes wonderful pictures but, as several  
have said, it is very heavy. The Canon Lens  Guide drawings show it to  
a 4 element long focus lens, the center group being a solid glass  
cylinder. No wonder it weighs a lot. It focuses adequately with the M3  
but probably should be stopped down with rangefinders of  lesser  
magnification.
