I use it with the 100/2,8 and the 80-200/4.
The 80-200 is the maximum you can use with it IMO.
The B26 choice is from my own experience.
There is nothing about the use of it with Leica in the RRS catalogue.

Now, I prefer to use the R8 with the winder when weight is
not a problem.

I have no experience of R7 + RRS plate.
