Wide angle lens on folded-up Master Technika

[Guglielmo]

Thank you so much again to all contributors!

Now my ideas are clearer... The main important topic is the "quality" of the lens in terms of sharpness and whatever we like for wished results.

Other suggestion helpful for me is that from Gary:

My Schneider 80mm f/4.5 Super-Symmar XL on a Linhof recessed board fits inside the Master Technika without caps or center filter.


A true wde-angle according to my specs Now I've to chase for it!

Buyer/user beware, the Schneider 80mm f5.6 Super Simmer XL has a history of problems.

Probably going on 20 years now so don't remember the exact details, but a friend had a Technika (? model) that he used with a (WA?) Dagor on it. The camera did close with the lens. Distinctly remember the other two lenses he had in his outfit: 150mm f/2.8 Xenotar and a 210mm Apo-Lanthar. Everything was in an OEM Linhof case. Knew him for many years and never remember him taking a single picture with the camera!!!

Thanks Bernice for warning information...

So the chase must be careful and with a lot of wariness

Actually I noticed that various sellers declare

Very slight haze in front cell. It is barely noticable and it should not affect the image qualities


or

It has the common ‘Schneideritus’ which is the degrading of the dark coating of the elements. This usually does not affect images


Better safe than sorry...

Regarding this, my Master Technika 3000 will close when a 4 3/8 inch Wide Angle Dagor, No. 1 rim-set Compur is mounted. Of course the OP asked about modern wide angle lenses, a description that I don't think fits the Wide Angle Dagor, or, for that matter, the Angulon. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with these lenses.
