Look for a coated 135mm f/4.5 Hektor, if you want something longer than the 90mm. The later 135 f/4.0 Elmar is nice, but much more expensive. You have to focus the 135 carefully, because of its limited depth-of-field, and the relatively short base of the III's rangefinder, but it works fine.
Finding clean screw-mount Leica equipment is getting harder; you might try KEH Camera in Atlanta (www.keh.com), one of the best used camera places to do business with that I've found.

has generated a lot of qustions. At least I have an idea on what to surf the net for.
The Voightlanders look pretty attractive, I might go that route.
Heck, the Bessa R2 looks attractive as an entry-level M clone, at half the price (or less) of a used Leica body. Might be my excuse to dump my '70's vintage Minolta SLR...
