Hunting for a longer L-mount lens for SL2-S.

I’m crazy about my new SL2-S using the LUMIX S-Pro 16-35 mm wide zoom. Now I’d like a second lens to give me a bit more reach. I shoot mostly landscape and architecture, and some events. Any recommendations for a lens that’s not too heavy but would make a great addition to my Leica kit? Thanks in advance.

Would some form of shift lens work for you? something like this. esp. for architecture 

There's lots for sale, but you may have to buy an adaptor

Zoom or prime?  Your long end is already 35mm.  If you want a killer lens that gaps well, the 75 APO is phenomenal, but when you say architecture, it wouldn't be the first lens that comes to mind.  I picked it up on a whim because I saw one going for a great price and it has become m favorite lens to use in terms of sharpness, rendering and overall performance.  

Maybe rent one for a few days and try it out.

I think a tilt shift might be a bit too specialized for me at this stage. Thanks.

It certainly has great user reviews and the focal length sounds like a good bridge to tele. Thanks.

The P70-300 makes a nice addition to the P16-35 for landscape
