Yes, check over at Photrio.com, there is a fellow that makes 8x10 simple conversion heads for the Beseler.

Mine was handmade, from simple wood, stacking boxes and 2 plates of glass for the negative
Not by me, but a famous photographer
It used the Aristo 12X12

Bob is in Toronto and provides printing services for negative sizes up to 11x14, as he has a big Devere enlarger capable of that negative size.
Really quite helpful and does extremely good work. Also has some other interesting "tricks" including alt photographic printing.
He has a you Tube channel and did a tour of his printing and processing area.
Say hi to him for me, if you do go and see him.
Good luck in your efforts,
Len

I think it was Kenko that had an 8x10 conversion head I have seen on Beselers made for the graphic arts industry (but don't know how well they worked or how configured)... Used to see them in industrial surplus where houses (when still around)...
Maybe some online...

I suspect he may already have one for the Beseler 4x5.
