Focusing accuracy depends on rangefinder baselength, and the Kodak Ektra is
the king here, followed by the Contax II and III -- the Contax II and III
will JUST allow a 180mm lens to be focused but great care is required. The
4.5/21 is not RF coupled but with its immense Depth of Field, this is not
an issue. And for lenses longer than 135mm and for macro work, I use a
reflex housing, generally a Visoflex III, though I have a slew of these
guys as well in both LTM and M.
The three lenses you mention ought to be easily found at $400 or less,
perhaps slightly higher for the 2/90 pre-ASPH.
