Maco,

I use a Nikkor 105 for smaller negs. And a Rodagon 135 for 4x5. I would like 
to get a 150 at some point, but for the moment I'm doing OK. I really think 
you should consider going used though not new. If your careful you can get 
quite good equipment on ebay. Currently there is no reason to buy new right 
away if money is a problem.
