Mark/clemmb- that sounds a very good work flow method and it would capture the best of both worlds.

Kingb- a similar workflow to Mark and yes the Pro is certainly a former film shooter. He uses a 5D and a 70-200 2.8, a 16-35mm, a 50/1.4 and a lensbaby(and some 580's). I am not sure what the second shooter uses. The big difference that I could see, was that he knew what he was doing, knew his equipment and communicated well to the clients. I was expecting an 85mm 1.2 or something more exotic. His gear was adequate and very well used, his Photoshop CS4 knowledge was very impressive and his experience was extensive.

It was a good day and I'm an enthusiastic sponge for this sort of information.
