ah - here's the crux of misunderstanding :^)
The assumption was that a 400mm for 645 would function
*the same* - ie: the sensor would crop into the lens'
image circle and the *resulting image" would seem (to
an eye not overly concerned w/ the physics of DOF, etc)
as if the lens were longer than it actually is, mostly
just a reduced field of view effect. But that's what the
people seem to really like - you know, a Free Lunch! ;^)
