Lars,

Thank you all your feedback this is great information!  I guess I should
mention my desired specialty: Portrait, mostly children.  I've got some
very unusual or unconventional ideas for a business that I would like
to start someday.  I keep thinking that for small children who are always
on the move, a 35mm would give more versatility.  Do you know if any
MF with that kind of versatility: easy/clear focusing, portable, very
durable?  What about a good 35mm for this type of studio/outdoors work?

<The professional photographers I know care more about reliability than
features. The cameras are some of the most important tools of the trade
and they must perform every day, all day. Of course features like autofocus
can be useful for press photographers, but if it's not reliable it's worse
than nothing. To a professional a lost picture is lost money. Especially if
it is due to failing equipment. Nothing is worse than thinking you have
done your job and then discover that something critical like the shutter
has failed.>

So for portrait, mostly children, what kind of equipment would fit the
bill.  
35mm and MF types?

Thanks,

Kris
