Sorry yep I meant 120mm! I already have a 210mm. Wanting one that will allow for plenty of camera movements without breaking the bank!
If such thing exists
Absolutely!, IMO best value 121mm f8 Super Angulon. Often available for well under $200, typically about $150, bargain just over $100.

72mm f5.6 SAXL. This is really, really wide on 5x7. Front to back perspective exaggeration is serious with this lens or can be used as a serious interior space expander.
110mm f5.6 SAXL. More often used 5x7 wide angle.
150mm SAXL. Medium wide 5x7, gets used a LOT.
Got them new when they were introduced in the later part of the 1990's. Have owned and used then all since.
90mm f4.5 Grandagon happened later. When something between there 72mm and 110mm must happen (not often, IMO better contrast gradation than Nikor).

++1 or the WA Dagors!
Another wide angle batch..
115mm f6.8 Gradnagon. This is a go-to wide angle for 5x7.
125mm f8 Fujinon, it's a Fujinon. Smallish image circle for it's focal length & "modern design" about 280mm per Fuji and large for it's focal length -vs- aperture.
165mm Angulon, one of my faves due to size and image quality. These are better in real world image making than most want to admit. Similar to the WA Dagor.. which has similar personality.

chrome barrel 90mm super angulon works well

I still think we're missing too many variables.
