Hi can someone tell me if a Fujinon W 1:6.3 150 lens, will cover 5x7 with movement?

I do not think so, but I have been wrong many times!!. But I am not familar with the particular f6.3 lens you mentioned. Is it an older tessar design (less likely to cover well) or a plasmat?

Hi Vaughn
I am not sure, it is for sale on this site, on page 3 towards the bottom of the page?

Under the post for that lens there is this link:

It looks to be a tessar design and it will not cover 5x7. A Fuji W 150/5.6 will, with a little movement.

Remember that coverage is stated for infinity focus. If your subject is closer, then coverage will be greater. At 1:1, coverage doubles.
