Depends on your portfolio and your price point, both of which change with your level of experience. Low-end clients will always act low-end, but the higher-paying clients are difficult, too, just for different reasons (e.g., they’re harder to find and they want more creative control of what you’re doing).

At the end of the day, if your work is good enough and you market yourself well enough, you will get there. Just remember what Winston Churchill said: “If you’re going through Hell, keep going.”

Schneider-Kreuznach 35mm f3.5I love me some standard/wide glass. Granted, it’s not very wide in 35mm format, but it’s oh-so-lovely.
