I believe many Canon RF/LTM lenses were designed that way so that the focus mark, & by extension the focus distance, could read through the camera's viewfinder. The displacement can be a problem w/the Nikkor 135, however, since it has a tripod mount in the base that's useless if it's not level. BTW, I agree w/David that both the Canon & Nikkor 135/3.5 lenses are very good performers (based on my experience w/the late, black Canon & the chrome Nikkor for Contax RF mount).

I used a SM-M adapter but the infinity was not in the center of the ring..... VERY displaced although the focus in the rangefinder was right . I have read that problem with the Canon SM used in M cameras. But today I have seen it. Now there is a Nikon lens on ebay but 250$ ....almost the same that a Elmarit 135/2.8.
