In my experience: the beauty of the visoflex in the bag is the weight and size of the kit. Carrying the M8, 28, 50 and Visoflex in a tiny, light bag and knowing that I've got the macro covered, feels quite nice. Carrying the DMR/ R8, 28, and 60 macro (as a similar kit) is considerably larger and heavier; not to mention that I wouldn't have the same speed (the R 28 2.8, 60 2.8 in contrast to the M 28 2, 50 1.4). If I know that I'm going out to photograph Macro you're probably right: DMR/R8 and 100 apo would be the choice. Yet if I'm moving very far from the arsenal and I'm not sure what I'll be photographing out there and want to travel light and small - then it's M8 and kit as stated above.
