The 180mm lenses is not some I have spent a lot of time with. The Leica 180mm Summicron-R f/2.0 stands as a dream lens for many, but it's big and heavy - though it fits on a Leica M with a Leica R-M adapter, and can also be refitted to Nikon mount.
The most economical lens in this range is the Leica 180mm APO-Telyt-R f/3.4 which is an excellent lens, and compact too. It sells for around $500 - $100 theses days and while 180mm is not a "natural range" for most Leica users, it's a lens so well made it is tempting to have one. Of course, for the Leica SL it has become more releveant again (using a Leica SL to R adapter). The Leica 180mm APO-Telyt-R f/3.4 was originally designed for the military and then found it's way into the consumer range. It was optimized for use at infinity .
