There are landscape scenes that I see that are within the 180's FoV that would make great shots of their own. I could use double the FL of the 180 to pull in some of those scenes. Leica offers a 280mm APO telephoto, but that lens falls short of doubling the 180's FL. They no longer offer a telephoto in the mid 300mm range which would be perfect jump from a 180mm lens. The next telephoto from Leica is a big jump to the the 400mm FL level, and costs $8K, more than I will spend on a lens, also. Is it logical to buy another telephoto lens, the Leica 280mm APO Telyt, offering only 60% more FL than their 180mm lens?
