Subject: [APML] Best lens for Pentax 6x7?

I have just stepped up to med format, pentax 6x7 non mlu [I'm poor] I have made a 300mm f5 achro doublet from surplus copier stuff, soon to see first light and lots of color. but have no other lenses. Comet fever has struck so the cat and dog are up for sale.   
It seems the Archives give the 165mm f2.8 a thumbs up, but out of my budget Max 150.00
but what about 90mm/2.8
                     105mm/2.4
                     200mm/4
                     55mm/4
                     55mm/3.5
of these others which are good for AP, I'm watching Ebay for bargains

Ric,   I have the older 105 and the new one is better, that would be the rubber knurling on the barrel versus the older all metal one.
The 55f4 is great for wide angle shots. The 165 is  also very sharp. I don't have the 200. It memory serves me right these lenses
are all in the same price range on the used market.
