  I find the Technikon, f/5.6, 58mm with coverage of 135mm,
listed in the 4th edition of _Linhof Practice_. Coverage is
given for infinity focus and f/22.
  Its listed as being for 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 format where it has
enough margin to allow some movements.
  The focal length and image circle given calculate to a
coverage angle of approximately 99 degrees.
  No information on the manfacturer or construction of the
lens is given. It  is listed as being available in 58mm,
100mm, 180mm.
  The diagonal of 4x5 is 152mm, so this is the minimum image
circle required.
