Traditionally medium format was great as long as you didn't need to get too
telephoto. They didn't get that long. A 350mm is like a 200 I think in 35mm.
So saying your medium format camera is for long use is pretty original.

The S2 isn't a traditional medium format camera.  On the S2 a 350mm lens
has the same field of view of a 280mm lens on full-frame 35mm.  The Leica
1.4x and 2x focussing modules for the modular APO Telyt system can be
modified to fit the S2 so APO lenses up to 800mm can be used.
