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.
