Assuming that you have a SW45, a 210 will only work with a "top hat", as you know. You'll need a shorter focal length lens, but as to covering the 4x5 film, that depends on the 180mm lens -- NOT the camera. You need to look at the specs for the 180mm lens. Most will cover 4x5", but it's easy to check. One way would be to tell us what 180mm lens you are considering.
Keep in mind that any 180mm lens on your camera will limit you due to the short bellows of your camera. You will be able to focus on distant objects, but you will be limited in your close-up capabilities -- not enough bellows.
Maybe this isn't the best camera for you.
