A complementary R system, kept in the trunk of a rented car, would comprise the following: R5 body 28mm f2.8 PC Superangulon 60mm f2.8 Macro- Elmarit 100mm f2.8 Apo-Macro- Elmarit(a planned purchase)* 180mm f3.4 Apo-Telyt** - ------------------------------------------------------- * in a 2 camera kit the 90mm f2.8 Elmarit M may be supefluous except for its wonted "bokeh" in comparison with the 100mm f2.8 apo R lens. **expert opinion may allow to use one of the apo extenders with the 100mm f2.8 apo R lens in lieu of the 180mm f3.4.
