My wife works from home, we're keeping our kid home from school, but then I go out and shoot a no-mask dance party every weekend? Not wise.
Hence the transition to portraits. But I agree about the shutter (and everything else). I believed I mentioned above that I've picked up a Mamiya C330 to get started with, and if the project takes off I'm now leaning toward modern lenses as you suggested, probably on a Crown Graphic. Honestly, digital would work fine for what I actually want to do, but the camera has to look the part, and I'm much more interested in film these days.
