I also find long fast lenses on small-sensor cameras to be impractical for the technique I prefer to use, so I don't see these lenses as required at all. A lens such as the 350mm APO-Elmar-S on the S2 would have a field of view equivalent to a 280mm lens with a 35mm film camera or a 200mm lens with the DMR. Since the 350 isn't available yet we don't know how heavy it is, but I can work with that field of view.
