Also an excellent idea. I'd even lend you (Tina) mine.

Tina, the best bang for the buck is the 400 f/6.8 Telyt, either viso mount
or r-mount.

The 180/3.4 APO represents excellent value, in the range of $700-900,
especially if you already have the APO 2x, which Leica recommends for use
with this lens. You would have a very compact 360/6.8 APO, with reputedly
extremely fine image quality for a rig of this type.
