No Luis, I never had the 180/4 Elmar. I did have a Visoflex that I used with 
a 200/4 Telyt on the M4. Replaced that (the Viso & Telyt - NOT the M4 that I 
still have) with a Nikon F and 200/4 Auto-Nikkor. For a while, I used the 
Russian 500/8 mirror on the Nikon. A fun lens but gave it up because of the 
occasional floating lights in the images.
