I don't know if you've used your 67 lenses on a 645 body at all but I have and it's clumsy and little advantage FL wise, yes they mount with the adaptor but really it's pretty much academic. Mounting 67 lenses on a cropped frame 645 will be worse again, anyone who needs WA coverage will have to buy some kind of new WA lens to get any sort of reasonable WA view. I hope I'm wrong but I think it's truly a non-starter, they'd be better off putting funds into strengthening their small format DSLR line.
