The 150mm Sironar N or S would be my first choice - then with the money you 
saved on the Super Symmar pick up a used late 90mm Super Angulon.  You may 
find that you need something a little longer, so still with change in your 
pocket, find a 203mm Kodak Ektar as a stop gap (you'll probably keep it as 
there are few modern lenses which rival its performance!).

You will still have some money left over so fill up the car with gas, pack 
some beverages and film in a cooler and set out to a stunning location to 
try out the kit :-)

All the best,
