Also the focus ability of the lens depends on the registration distance to the film plane. All the lenses would no longer focus at the normal ranges.

Here's a thought: surely the only reason that the 3MP camera would not be "full frame" is the distance of the sensor array from the lens. If when designing the 3MP camera the array were place closer to the lens then surely full frame would be achieved. Wouldn't this solve the lens issue, (if not the resolution). I accept that this could mean major design issues such as mirror positioning and a different distance to the focusing screen, but if you are designing the camera from scratch, this may not be such a problem. As I said just a thought and perhaps I haven't thought it through enough...
