Scott, I used a 645 outfit back when I was actively doing portraits and weddings. Because of the size constraints of my studio, I chose the 120 macro as my portrait lens. It would allow full lengths at the max distance available to me and yet still work for head shots. Occasionally I would use the 200 for head shots but mostly the 120. A lot will depend on your shooting style. I tend to fill the frame as much as possible, and the lab folks used to bitch at me all the time for shooting so tight. Most labs really prefer a little wiggle room so a shorter lens worked to my advantage in that case. Another advantage of the 120 is, being a macro, you never run out of close focus capability! (unless you are shooting ants!)
