rear derailleur suggestion

i'm looking for suggestions for a vintage (ish) european brand rear derailleur that will handle 52x42 chainrings and 14-30t 5 speed freewheel combo for my 73 Italvega build. i installed the Soma long cage mod on a campy NR, but it looks weird to me... although to be honest i don't have the 27" rear wheel back from the LBS to install on the frame and see it mocked up. it just seems like the cage is long enough to be a kickstand! i have hangers for both campy and huret to go on the stamped dropout. i don't want shimano or suntour for this bike.
