Perhaps what we need is not lens adapters but completely interchangable
mirror boxes.  A nice little compact one for 35mm lenses, and a big
sticky-out one with a correspondingly larger mirror for 645 lenses.

Joe suggested that the camera could crop automatically when a 35mm lens
is detected.  Perhaps the sensors could also be made modular, so we 
could have a choice between 35mm full frame or sub-645 according to
budget.  Viewfinders would be interchangable too, of course.

Me too, but only because I haven't stopped to think about how much
all the above might cost...
