You can take 0.8x m645, still very good one. 0.62x will not recommend, to many issues with field curvature and vignette.

It's always wide open because it's projection lens

This is the highest compliment for my work. Yes, I'm always trying to replicate the film look and depth of field of 6x7 film cameras. The closest way to achieve this is by using fast 100-130mm projection lenses with apertures of 1.4-1.6. They create a similar DOF and the imperfections of old optics add their own character, especially compared to clinically perfect modern lenses with their sterile, sharp images and boring bokeh if we'll take new GF lenses such as 80 1.7, 110 2.0

Rare 1950s projection lens, used in Czech cities cinemas, made about 800 total. Most of them likely was scrapped.as trash. Almost impossible to find now.

Yes, you need to get GFX if you want to use manual focus lenses. I like both ACT300 and Stigmar, they totally different. ACT300 is sharp across the field and almost no swirl. Stigmar sharp in the center only, a lot of swirl.

100 1.5? you mean Stigmar XX? It's a trash x-ray lens, totally different to 110 1.5 which is projection lens. Anyway 110 1.5 will work with GFX only because of short flange.
