Modern f5.6 multicoated plasmats (Symmar-S, Nikkor-W, Sironar-N, et cetera) are great all purpose lenses.
They regularly sell for less than $200.

At the wider end I paid less than $200 for my Schneider Super Angulon 121mm f/8 lens in a later Compur shutter. It's sharp and has huge coverage for 4x5. It fits on a Copal 0 board but it isn't a small lens.
It's similar to a 35mm lens on a 35mm camera or full frame DSLR.
Can't seem to find any ektars
You already own a Nikon 150W. Why not match it with a Nikon 210W and a Nikon 90SW?
You would have the ideal lens set for your 4x5 Cham.
g-claron 210 / 240 with lenscap shutter, will cover 8x10
+1, both are excellent lenses, small and both use 67mm filters. With an inexpensive 52-67 filter adapter you can use 67mm filters on your 150. The 90/8 SW is a great lens, small and with a 236mm image circle, only available in much bigger and expensive 90mm wide angle lenses. If you shot color slide film or feel you need a center filter to correct fall off, a 67mm center filter is much more affordable and easier to find than a 82mm centerfilter which is the filter size of Nikkor SW 90/4,5, Rodenstock Grandagon-N 90/4,5, and Schneider Super Angulon 90/5,6. All these lenses have a 235-236mm image circle, but are much bigger and expensive than the Nikkor SW 90/8.

Look and you will find. A little patience will help too, the market for used lenses is thin.
