Maybe you could try a Rode NT2A switch selected to a Figure 8 polar
pattern and a cardiod of your choice (since cardiods are not quite so
rare).
Its got very very low self noise specs, and it is suitable for outdoor
recording.
Mounting is a bit more awkward because of the diaphragm orientation -
and the weight.
Its still not exactly cheap, but much less than the MKH30
At least its one option
