Hello Francesco.

Leica and Panasonic only released two lens attachments for the D2 and LC1:
a) the macro attachment described above, which I use, and is fantastic for macro.
b) a wide-angle lens element which is HUGE and HEAVY, and only provides an increase to 24mm.

The issue of more telephoto capability for a D2 has been widely discussed in this forum in 2005, but no solutions were found. It's just a limitation of this truly superb camera.

I've previously described the D2 as a very HIGH quality image capturer over a very narrow sweet-spot of shooting.

Don't get me wrong I still enjoy using my D2, but I prefer to use my D3/L1 more so.
