Are there no alternatives to the Angulon 90/6.8 if I want a 90mm that folds into my Wista 45SP? Preferably a bit more modern, with MC and slightly bigger image area, and brighter than f6.8?

Impossible wish?

What if I cut down on the specs (but f<=6.8 is a must I think)?

The only 90mm wide-angle lenses that are small enough to fold into a camera are Angulons and the double-Gauss lenses which are mostly even older.

I believe the Congo Wide 90mm f:6.3 is the only one currently in production.

It's not 90mm, but is also small and numerically brighter though you might not be able to see the difference - 100mm f/6.3 WF Ektar. I don't know if it would fold into a Wista, don't have one to try it out with, but the sizes are similar.

Graflex Optar, Wollensak Raptar, and Congo all make small 90mm lenses that compete with the Angulon. Check out Chris Perez's info (http://www.hevanet.com/cperez/testing.html#65mm_thru_125mm)

The Optar, Raptar, Ektar and Angulon are all out of production and have been so for some time. The Congo is the only "modern" one.
