Hi John,
which brightline is displayed depends only on the length of the tooth in 3
o'clock position of the lens mount. If my memory serves right, the longest
brings up the 28/90 combination, the medium length the 50/(75) and the shortest
the 35/135 combination.
But you better verify this yourself by comparing the mounts of some
M-lenses.
If your 35mm lens brings up the 50mm frame, you just need to file down the
lower edge of the above mentioned tooth by approx. 1 mm.
This can be easily done. Just make sure you modify the correct tooth ;-)
Best regards from Germany,
Alexander
