>  What is the longest focal lenght M lens that is usable with the SF 20?

300mm on a Visoflex @ 5 meters.

It's not so much maximum focal length as it is distance to subject 
and aperture. The SF-20 can only cover about 10 meters adequately at 
a reasonable aperture. Remember its guide number is only 20 meters @ 
ISO 100 f/1.
