That is quite different than where you started.  I think you would love 
the 280/2.8.  Thanks to Ted's sage advice, I have found that you can 
stack extenders without much degradation of the image... 1.4x extender 
... 2x extender... and if you really want life with a different view, 
add the macro-R adapter.  Make sure that the one you have has the filter 
on it (or are prepared to buy a filter)  (the only lens I know that 
Leica ships with a filter).  I bought mine from KEH, and they had 
separated the filter from the lens and were selling them separately.
