The standard lens for the 6x7 is the 105/2.4 - most second hand 6x7s have this attached. It's got a nice feel and is easy to focus. For wide angle, the 55/3.5 is the older model and probably cheaper then the f4.0. It's got an enormous front element, though.(100mm or so) That's about 28mm in 35mm terms. The 45 is about 22-ish in 35mm terms. There's a 75 (about 35mm) which can usually be quite cheap. I picked up a 6x7+105/2.5 for about HKD 4,000 a few years ago. That's roughly GBP 400.
