210mm vs 240mm on 8x10

What about the Fujion W 250mm f6.3

there is one floating on the bay with an "semi" ok price?

- im only familiar with the Symmar and the Siranor series and old Tessars.

Much smaller image circle unfortunately — the older 6.7 can do 398mm, but the newer 6.3 can only just cover 8x10.

Nope, not the 6.3. For 8X10 you want the 250/6.7. I've used that lens too. A stop brighter than the 250A but about the same image circle stopped down.

thank you! I have to look into it more than

An inexpensive, but very good option is the 8.5" (215 mm) f/4.8 Ilex-Calumet Series S Caltar, which is convertible to 14".

i think i will go with either Symmar 240 or Schneider 240mm lens.. i have experienced them in the 210 and 360 versions and im very happy with them

The f6.7 is a good solution for your needs. It has and improved image circle over others discussed above. And, it can be often found priced under $400.
