35mm I'd go Nikon, and probably digital. I'll probably do this in the
spring of 2004 if Pentax doesn't come out with a DSLR I like.
Lon's right.
I'd go back to Olympus. Older Olympus, not any of the new stuff...
They are the closest to Pentax in quality, IMMHO...
Besides, they're what I gave up a LONG standing relationship with, to
come to this current mistress!

I'd switch to medium format if I were to switch brands. Those Mamiya 645's
look nice!

Still lusting after a 645n..

Good FOR YOU!. We all know that EOS really stands for
Elitist Other Snot. Grin. I've never cared to air my boogers in
public. The SMC 135 is a gem. So is the M 50 1.4. They
are both better lenses than I am a photographer, and I pack
both of these lenses most of the time.

Thanks for the tip, Frantisek, although (after rummaging around
I would guess there are maybe 25 people in the world actually making a
living doing that. There are a lot more doing it more as a self-supporting
hobby or as a sideline to other work.
Ciao,

Ditto that, for me, Mike.
The thing is most people think professional photographer = famous
photographer. There are many, many professional photographers in the world.
There are few famous photographers. I read somewhere a few years back that
the average wage for full time photographers was $21,00
