I'm at the point of gear acquisition that I think I would really like to have access to Canon CPS services. I have two 5D3s, a 70-200 2.8L II, 24-70 2.8L II, and 50 1.4.
I've looked at the Canon CPS site and it appears that it is restricted to people who are actually earn their living from photography. Per Canon CPS membership qualifications - "Professional Image Makers -Self-employed or an employee of a professional imaging business"
I'm a hobbyist with a full time job in another career field. I occasionally and rarely take a paid assignment but am in now way a "self employed" professional imaging business.
How closely is this scrutinized in the CPS membership process?
