Pentax 67 project advice

So since uni I've had a Bronica SQ with 50mm f3.5 lens (my baby) as I love square format.

I'm thinking of embarking on a new photo project of portraits and group shots but wanting an upgrade.

My dream camera has always been a Pentax 67 and I'm just wondering if my judgement is being clouded by the dream or it would genuinely be a good decision for the work.

I've tried Mamiya 67 and Bronica ETRS in the past but the allure of the Pentax is high. (Have wondered about Mamiya 7 but think its out of my budget)

Will probably have to sell my Bronica to fund some of the purchase so don't want to make a rash decision.

Any thoughts welcome thanks.

Victorian house ground floor.

I wonder if anyone might be able to tell me what might have been done here. Last year bought and moved into Victorian middle terrace house (built 1900) I know that it would probably have been built with suspended timber floor, other houses on the row still have their airbricks intact, ours have been covered/filled.

I can see the edges of a DPM and can see in some corners/edges EPS foam with I think a self-levelling skim on top.

​

There's no issues with condensation or excessive drafts etc.

​

I'm just wondering what exactly has been done? Floor filled with MOT/aggregate fill, potentially with insulation then concrete and self level on top??

​

Most other work done on the house previously are classic landlord specials done badly so wondering if the ground-floor has had equal treatment or maybe this job has been done well.

​

Before buying I was researching how to insulate suspended floors, but once we pulled the carpet up realised there was nothing there 😅

​

Plan now as long as this floor is fine will be to put down cork/wood flooring.
