Quite right.  Why not assume it's a straight question and answer it.

LTM lenses do not "activate" a frameline.  The proper LTM to M *adapter* 
will activate the proper framelines.  I haven't seen any of the newly 
produced ones, but original Leitz adapters are engraved to indicate which 
lines on which model will appear.
