Buying Fuji GA645 60/4 question

[Alex Krasotkin]

Guys,

I need your advise on the following idea:

I have recently bought Fuji GA 645wide with 45/4 lens, which I am quite happy about. However I would like to couple it with Fuji GA 645 with 60/4 lens, but have one minor hesitation:

60/4 (= 37mm) still sounds quite wide for me, given that I intend to shoot some portraits with it. In addition distortion could be an issue in this case. Alternatively GS645 with folder and 75/3.5 does not sound right as well given absence of autofocus and potential problems with bellows.

Any thoughts are welcome.

I notice there is some distortion with the 60mm lens so it's not my first choice for buildings/architecture.
It's great for portraits, street etc. I used it to shoot a wedding and was very happy with the results.

I have a GA645 and use it primarly for portraits. It's sort of wide, but the vertical orientation works quite well for upper body shots. Some examples here (and more in my Flickr).

You can find any of my posts that elaborate on the GA645Zi...(one as recent as last weekend), So rather than go into lengthy detail (yes, you are all welcome), let me say that the Zi will give you lens lengths for 645 ranging from 55 to 90mm.

It's the consummate catchall of all the previous Fuji 645 variants. I enjoy all aspects of mine, even with 32,000 plus clicks on the shutter.
