Cropping 17 mm to 45 mm FOV

OP did mention cropping. I'm not going to do the maths now but if you stood where you would stand for a head/shoulders portarit shot using your 45mm and switched to a 17mm and then cropped the picture to head/shoulders then how much distortion would there be? The cropping would be severe but on a high megapixel sensor would the quality be sufficient for your average 6x4 and 10x8 prints?

not for 8 x 10" prints.

The difference in the FOV between those two lenses is a lot!

At the first glance you loose about 2/3 in each dimension, so you get something like 1500x1000px, or about 5x7 in print at 200 dpi resolution.
