True, the long lens (350mm) they 'announced' years back has never been 
released. However they make adapters allowing long Hasselblad H (300mm) or 
Contax 645 (350mm) lenses with autofocus/aperture, or manual focus with 
Mamiya 645 (300mm or rare 500mm), Pentax 67 (400mm) or Hasselblad V lenses. 
Lenses have a 0.8x magnification to get 35mm FF equivalents. Or a very 
expensive adaptation to the 400mm f4 APO-Telyt ;-)

one of the SLR's advantages over the rangefinder is the ability to frame and 
focus long lenses accurately.  In the S system Leica has yet to take 
advantage of this capability.
