    A bit rarer, but you might be able to find a hexanon GRII 210 f9 in shutter. It has about a 360mm or so circle. A better and easier choice might be an older fujinon 210 WS, these covers about 350mm. Great lenses from that series. Obviously neither or schneiders but something to consider.

    Also keep your eyes open for a Fujinon 250mm f/6.7 (not 6.3). It's the older single coated lens with the writing inside the front barrel next to the front element. It's a smaller lens in a Copal 1 shutter, takes 67mm filters and has a 398mm image circle.

    The 240mm G-Claron is a good suggestion as well.

    Most 210mm lenses will be a little tight for coverage on 8x10 and would also be pretty wide for portraits.

    A smaller 300mm lens is not a bad idea either - Fuji 300mm C, Fuji 300mm A, Nikkor-M 300mm are all good options.

    If you want cheap 210,
    look for a commercial Komura 210/6.3 which will cover with minimal movements.

    or a Eskefot-ultragon 210/8 will give you a huge image circle but its a barrel lens. I have a Luc shutter infront of mine.

    I like wide environmental portraits.
