Also, with no need to find room for film their is even more room for electronics and such. It may be wishfull thinking, but a RF makes a lot of sense for full frame as you do not need room for the prism and mirror that increased in size as teh sensor gets larger. So, you just need to have the sensor flange distance with a big enough throat to handle the light cone coming off the lens with a rangefinder put on top or the side.
