Pascal, The palm grip made for the old 280/2,8 (# 11 245 & 11 263) will not go on any other Leica lenses. That's why Leica is making a very nice palm grip that is sold separately and is made for: 70-180/2,8, 180/2, 280/4 and the APO-MODUL (280/2,8, 400/2,8, 400/4 etc..). But you cannot use it on the old 280/2,8 (# 11 245 & 11 263). You can see a picture of that accessory on the following web site under "Grip Casing" : <http://www.leica-camera.com/r_system/racc_e.htm#RNah> The code number is 14 282. In my opinion, it's an accessory that you need to have with those lenses. Lucien
