Hello, if you think large chips are going to replace medium-format, why then not make a body in MF-style (cubic body with perhaps interchangeable backs for digi& 35mm-film, interchangeable viewfinders like prism and waistlevel of course) that takes 35mm lenses? There once was the Rollei 3003 in exactly that style...well, that would be a fantastic digital one!
Have a nice christmas time!
