This may be a silly question from a newbie. I brought a Jupiter-12 and trying to get a LTM->M adapter for it. I came across a 135mm adapter (without mentioning 35mm) in a local camera shop. Logically speaking, I believe, this adapter would bring up the 35/135mm frameline. Am I getting it right?
 
You are correct in your guess, though be wary if the adapter is a cheap Chinese one (sometimes they aren't of proper thickness to ensure correct RF calibration between lens and body, so the focus will not be correct even though the RF window says it is).

Also, know that the J-12 probably will block the metering spot on your M6. Read here for more detailed information.
