Lots of LF location work back in the day...hauling power packs/lights/backdrops - testing with Polaroid and starting with gray card/color card snaps to establish processing/printing color balance. Architecture/industrial/products/people. Did two or three weddings completely with a Crown Graphic (all Tri-X) - got pretty quick slinging holders (no bag-mags for me!).
Then again, my career had its beginnings in the mid 1970's...and if I were starting out today I'm sure things would be different - "pro gear" wise. A bit of irony...now that I am "retired," that the bulk of my (non SS) income comes from LF work - enough, so far, to add my schedule C to our taxes...but who knows how long this will last.
