Please take this at face value, as I am trying to be helpful and in no way a smart alec.
Would you go to a professional photography BBS and ask, "what is the best quality vs. value in sidelocks for world wide hunting?"
I am very sure you would get well-intentioned responses, but how much value would you place on them?
You have gotten some very well-intentioned responses here, but they are not of equal value. Professional photography is a very serious business, and if one has to ask basic questions such as this, then there is a little homework that needs to be done before planning an internet-based photography business. It is the old "crawl before you can walk" thing. If you are really serious about producing professional work, then you will need to either go with a digital SLR and the highest quality lenses, or large format camera and a scanner. A little homework on your part will teach you the benefits and short comings of each. As good as this board is at distributing knowledge about doubles, it is not the best place to gain knowledge in the relm of professional photography.
Please believe me when I say I wrote this only to be hlepful. I whole-heartedly hope you pursue your idea of getting into professional photography in general, and gun photography in particular. The words I wrote were meant only to be helpful and I hope they were taken as such.
