Like Matthias Ochs said, the pros have to deliver to get paid. If that
means some odd equipment, like the bizarre zoom, tele converter, e.t.c.
combination you mention so be it.
The distinguishing characteristic, IMHO, of a professional of any craft
is a (hopefully) thorough knowledge of the rules and methods - and of
how (s)he can get away with cheating without compromising the final result.
