Hi,
I'm leaning towards getting a Grandagon 155 for 8x10, but I'm not too fond of the look of modern lenses for portraits.
Can anyone recommend a similar FL but of older vintage?
Thanks in advance, and happy holidays.

6.5 inch Wide Angle Dagor is a fine choice. Though I can't imagine using such a wide lens for 8x10 inch portraits.
The Wollensak WA Velostigmat 6.25" f9.5 Series III is a good value wide angle lens, but not really suitable for portraits unless you are planning to do environmental portraits as it gives an AOV similar to a 22mm lens on 35mm.

Very nice, Ed, and thanks to both of you.
The 180mm Dagor is a nice lens with room for movements on 8x10.
Wollensak 159mm is rather nice. Tiny lens. I've had quite good luck with mine.
No problem Ed, as long as you know how to use it!
