When I used 810, a Fujinon 250 was my main lens, and a particular favourite for portraits.
Not too long a bellows extension, and rendered faces beautifully without compressing them.

I wonder if 10 years later the original poster is still shooting large format and wondering about this question?
That said, I like my 14" Kodak Commercial Ektar. Fast aperture, nice smooth transitions from sharp center focus to OOF areas.

The first time, only two people answered. This time, quite a few responses. When this question was asked, I didn't have an 8x10 camera. Something like this is a good reference for later, though. Myself? I have both lenses and filters.
Which has come into vogue? Portraits or portrait lenses?
