Thank you for the reassurance
You don't have much choice besides those lenses and I know I'll most likely will like those focal lengths.

Well, there have been many other lenses issued for 645, including several zooms. All are said to be uniformly good to excellent. Choice gives one only the illusion of quality.
Listen to my albums free on BandCamp. Or visit my main website for links to photography, etc.

I'm perfectly happy with the Tamron 90mm, f/2.5, 1:2 macro 52B, though I don't admittedly do much macro, but it's a great lens anyway. Works well with the 1:1 converter too, and it cost me 90 quid.

And I think the Sigma 10-20 is hard to beat. I don't believe you need to spend mega-bucks to get good results, unless you are planning on doing billboards, in which case you're not looking at APS-C cameras anyway.

I have lately been thinking about selling all my lenses and just keeping the K-7, DA* 16-50mm f2.8, DA* 55mm f1.4. DA* 60-250mm f4.

Then I would try and find an old A contact Vivitar/Kiron 105/90mm macro lens (really miss my old one) and that would do me fine.
