A silly pseudonym named "Ernst Leitz" asked:

Screw mount lenses do not mount on an M-bayonet camera without an 
adapter, and do not have the cams for activating the framelines in the M 
cameras. 

Presuming you obtain the correct M-bayonet adapter for the focal length, 
the adapter triggers the appropriate framelines with its cams.
