lightweight wide-ish 5x7 lens recommendations

Your point and shoot 5x7 with focus mount sounds interesting.

Hard to find anything lighter and smaller than the 130mm Rodenstock Perigon.
Will cover 5x7 with lot's of movements.

110mm Super Symmar XL !

I'd also like to cast a vote for the 150mm G Claron. I have mine in a Prontor, and I used it plenty of times for 5x7. Very light, reasonably inexpensive, and it produces lovely sharpness and contrast.

I'm planning on making a lightweight 5x7 camera and already have the perfect lightweight lens to go with it - a Kodak 203mm Ektar. But I'm also looking for recommendations for something wider. It must be lightweight (I have a 121mm Super Angulon which would fit the bill regarding focal length but is far too heavy for the lightweight outfit I have in mind)
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

120 Angulon - only 2 degrees less coverage than the super, and weighs little or nothing.

Thanks again to everyone who has made suggestions. I have more or less got the design for the camera sorted out now; based around my 203mm Ektar. It will take lenses down to about 100, (and up to about 300) I'm inclining towards the 150mm G Claron, but as used large-format lenses aren't exactly plentiful in the UK, I will keep my options open. You have certainly given me plenty of choices!

I use a 135mm Wide Field Ektar in a focus mount on my lightweight DIY 5X7 point and shoot. Very nice combo IMO. The 150mm G-Claron would be a great choice also.

Could you post a photo of your DIY 5x7 with focus mount?

I will try in a few days. Thanks for your interest.

Another is the 120mm Osaka or Congo wide field. Small and in a modern shutter. Might be a little hard to find but should be fairly cheap.

a tiny 4 3/8" Dagor & a 150 G Claron cover things for me in 5x7.

Greg, do you mean the f/8 wide angle Dagor? I ask because covering 210 mm seems a bit of a stretch for a 4.375"/6.8 Dagor, also because a cursory look in a Goerz catalog found no 4 3/8"/6.8ers.
