I get some jobs like that, but they always request jpegs. No RAW
requests yet in five years of shooting digital.

Was asked, one time, four years ago or something, to provide the RAW
files for the actual printing. The client hired the crew on
independent basis, so I never met the ones responsible for the rest
of the job. All I did was take the photos, deliver the proofs so
they could select, then deliver the raw files of the selected images.
I accepted simply because the photos had no interest for me other
than get paid - I worked under a very strict guideline, the subject
was no good, the client received my comments with a polite "thanks
but that's what I want precisely", paid a fair surcharge so I would
release the copyright and agree to look at the finished product as
if it was completely unknown to me - and soon after full payment I
received (his idea) yet another bonus to destroy any files left
(wich I did).
They did call some weeks later, since a very close copy of their
product was being marketed by someone, and they needed assurance I
had nothing to do with the fact - simple to prove since I never
retained the sample and the photos had the artifacts to prove the
competitors just scanned the original folders and did some PS.
Yes, I ramble - this IS old age. the point is, the moment I assume
to get paid for some job I also assume the fine print (if any). The
guy who wants me to provide some photo with all rights and full
contents of the camera at the end of the session is just paying me
an extra. No, I'm not touching the legal or moral content of the
session. No, I don't get that kind of deal often and I simply won't
sell off my projects like that. But I have no interest of being
known as the guy who took some so-so product photo because the
client wanted and paid for exactly that photo. I'm paid for those
photos, but I don't take them as art. Just the job at hand.

Subject: Toughts... Pentax and Professional Photography
One of the main problems is I've Pentax. Not kidding. An agency
will never
talk with someone who has Pentax. The minimum is Full Frame,
which Pentax
not planning to release. With a Nikon D700 or Canon EOS 5D (MK1)
I could
start with luck :)
I take it that agencies no longer care about the quality of the
photographs
so much as some of the less than important aspects of the
technology
of
taking them?

Most of 'em never did.
I've been told they don't care what kind of camera I use, as long
as I
provide the images in either Nikon or Canon RAW format.
The biggest advantage of shooting Cakon is third party support.
Plus,
if you don't have exactly the lens you need, you can rent it just
about anywhere.
The availability of rental equipment is an obvious plus for Canon
and Nikon shooters. But in regard to providing RAW files in those
formats, that's a non-issue. I work for a lot of different pubs,
agencies, stock houses and other clients, and no one has ever
requested RAW files. If they did, I'd tell them no. Controlling the
transition from RAW to tiff is part of the photographer's job, his
signature if you will. I would never turn over the coarse data that
is a RAW file. And I know of no working pro who would.
