Joe,

This is part of the reason I chose 67 over 645 - I like my 35mm stuff
and have quite an investment.  I felt that I would be able to choose
on a case by case basis whether it was 35 or 67 and that it would be
pretty obvious.  The 645 made me feel that I would almost always pick
the 645 even when the 35 would have been good enough.

You can get some 67 stuff reasonably priced by going used.  I believe
JCO has done pretty well that way.
