Open th back and lock the shutter open. Watch while you attempt to mount
the 135 and see what, if anything, is hitting. Perhaps a simple adjustment
will fix it. I had a similar problem with my M6 and a Tele-Elmarit. When I
din't see anything touching inside it forced the lens on. Since then it has
worked properly.

Cheers!
