Welcome!

Hello,
I didn't know the lens yet, I ask becouse I want to buy one but before to spend money I have to know if I can use it with my 8x10 camera.
Thanks
The 'standard' 8X10 lens is 300mm aka 12"
But if shooting close to subject shorter lens can be used
I highly suggest you study

It depends on the lens. A regular plasmat like Sironar and Symmar etc will cover just fine, while other lens designs like Ronar and Artar will not.
Google is your friend.
Some lenses are listed here. For 8x10 you need at least 300mm image circle.

Seems you have the cart before the horse.
Perhaps explain your reason for wanting something so specific without knowing anything about it?
The Fujinon A 240 f/9 will cover 8x10
Many 240s will cover 8x10. It is a modest wide angle with that size film. Any generation of Schneider Symmar will do it, for example, as will similar lenses from Rodenstock. A Schneider 240mm G Claron is small and light and covers easily. The G Claron is remarkably smaller than the Symmar. Nikon makes a nice 240mm in a Copal 3 shutter. As others have indicated, some lenses will not cover, so your question is oversimplifying things a bit.
My 240 G Claron covers 8x10 well.
