On a 4x5-based DOF adapter rig, f/2.5 via an Aero Ektar, f/2.8 via a Xenotar, or f/2.9 via a Pentac gets you f/0.67, f/0.74, or f/0.77 equivalent aperture emulations, respectively.

I will try adapting a Rollei Heidosmat 150mm F2.8 MC. It's as cheap as it goes and the next stop would be some 4.5 Tessars of which there are a million or some many cheap Fujinar f4.5 (usually better crafted). But f4.5 is more like f1.2 and thus less interesting. I think f2 is where 4x5 gets funny with f0.5 view.
