210mm Angulon, in a copal #3 they sell around the $600 mark.

Just about any old Protar f:18 from 18cm and up. The 14cm is a little to short, but may barely cover.
And then there's the legendary Hypergon, of course...
I think the 165mm Super-Angulon will cover as well.
10" Wide-Field Ektar also covers.
The 240mm Computar covers and there's one on e-Bay now. I'm not connected with the auction, but I have one of these and it works very well. At f22 it covers 11x14 and still has some room for movement.

The G Clarons - the 305 and even the 355 seem like wide angles to me. Just make sure that you stop the 305 down to at least 32 or 45. It depends upon ones definition of the word "wide".
Have fun with your 11x14.
Cheers!
Both the super angulon 210 and the grandagon 200 cover 11x14 though they are large lenses , however they were made until recently and can be had in newer shutters and the latest coatings. Cheers George
FWIW I had a 183 Protar V and it did not cover 11x14. OTOH the 250WF Ektar I had did but I've heard others say theirs didn't. I would suggest that to be on the safe side what ever lens you decide on you 'try before you buy'.
Will the 210 f10 Process Nikkor cover 11x14 stopped down?

Hey Francesco, I don't have the Nikkor that you asked about, but I don't think that it would come anywhere near covering 11x14 at infinity. In fact, I would be willing to bet an 8x10 Azo contact print that it will not. But it may work well enough for some of the closer closeups that you do. I really like your web site. It is clean, and easy to navigate and the images look great on my cheap monitor. Want to make the bet??? I'm found of your "places of worship" prints.
Sudek ambled across my mind one day and took his picture. Only he knows where it is.
