An accessory which help a lot when using the APO-VARIO 70-180/2,8 handheld, is the little Leica rubberized Handgrip (#14 282) specially made for it and for lenses like the APO 180/2 and APO 280/4. It's much like the handgrip sold together with the 2 previous versions of the APO 280/2,8 (#11 245 and 11 263) (pre APO-MODUL). Lucien
