Hi,
I use a Rodenstock 55 mm. It just covers 5x4 with a tiny bit of movement possible, but is super for a 6x12 roll back. You often don't need top & bottom in interiors so much as a wide format. Dennis.

For your 69 back I'm pretty sure you will be able to use one of the older non xl schneider 47mm lenses...fairly wide
Check out the lens tables available to see which lenses cover which formats etc..very usefull.

And as others have said no one lens is wide enough as it completely depends on each interior so best to be prepared for all situations if possible.
I.E. have a wide that you like the look of (for both 54 and 69 formats) and then have one wider for those just in case shoots. The wide for your 54 should end up as a standard for your 69 so they can double up.
centre filters generally more necessary when shooting transparency film than neg.
Cheers,
Marc
