Let me add to the list - the 209mm F/8 JML Optical lens. It is apparently a repro/copy lens usually found in the barrel, larger than a 210 Angulon but substantially smaller than a Super Angulon, stops down to f/45, single coated and definatley covers the format. More than that I can't say as I haven't tested mine yet. This one was made in 1991, apparently they are discontinued. THE REAL GOOD NEWS is that mine cost $50.00!
Schneider have announced that they will introduce a new 210 super symmar XL aspherical this year, in Sweden at the end of the summer, in other countries probably earlier. It will, according to specs, be half the weight of the 210 Super Angulon, it will be f5.6 instead of f8, it will cost half as much as the super angulon, it has much improved definition in the outer areas of the image circle, and it has an image circle of 500 mm. Listed price in Sweden is about $2900 but that may be without shutter.
