Jim

The 200 f/4 is an astounding lens.
The imbalance of heavy large lens to small tlight camera will be an
interesting problem in the handling but i'msure you'll figure it out.

If you are still looking for a great small easy to handle 135 and are
willing to get another adapter, get the Minolta MD adapter and the Minolta
MD 135/3.5.  The Minolta 135's are justly famous but the larger 2.8's don't
fit your bill. The MD 135/3.5 is really small (49mm thread and perhaps three
inches long) and very very good. Available for peanuts.
