equipment recommendation - Is gear investment worth it for the freelance photographer?



I noticed that freelance photographers while spending very different amounts for their gears, all tended to charge to same price for their work.


The “professional” gear expenses goes from under $500 to over $10,000. So there seem to be no correlation between the investment and the return. Pro equipment may be more reliable, useful, versatile, and look right to customers, unlike traditional businesses, there seems to be no Return on Investment whatsoever. The logical inference is that to spend more than the absolute minimum is a form of self-sabotage and may be one of the reasons why so many photo businesses fail.


Is there any evidence that investing in professional gear is worth it?
