No, the Elmarit 135/2,8 bring up the 90mm frame and that was
because of the M2 who don't offer the 135mm frame.
(The only 135mm that the M2 accept without a separate viewfinder
is the 135/2,8.)
And also because of the lack of accuracy of the M2 and later M's
with a 135mm at 2,8.
BTW it seem that LEICA stopped the 135/2,8 middle of last year.
