  Well, I stnad corrected.  I checked with Greg Weber (who knows 
  more about the rapid and Koni that anyone I ever met) was told 
  that the Press 2 is a Japanese version of the M.
  
  Greg also indicated that the late Ms and late Press 2s did have 
  135mm marks, carried forward on the Rapid Ms.  The 135mm lenses 
  were only made 2 to 2.5 years, but the markings for them on the 
  cameras went on.
  
  Hope this helps.
  
  Peter K.

Well here is my 2 cents worth :-)
My Press 2 has the following:
  
Markings for the 58, 90, 135, and 180 on the focus knob.
  
Framing lines for the 90, 135, and 180, of course you need the eye piece
for 
the 58.
