Seth,

Did you coupled the 180/4 Elmar on a Visoflex?

Saludos cordiales

Mark, Sal was quite right about the reach of a 180; but why not just put one
on an SL or R6 if size is a question? well, thinking about it, a 180/4 Elmar
on Visoflex and an M3 wouldn't be that bulky; unhandy but not that bulky.
