    After trying several lenses we ended up just using a 50mm and a 35-70. Even a 35mm was too wide, and tended to include unneeded parts of the airframe. Any of the lenses you mentioned should will work fine, but the extra resolution of a prime is nice, too.

    The only person I know who did this for a living (I was in the AF at the time) charged expenses + $50 per shot, prints extra, but then, he was focusing ;) on factories and businesses and mainly did it to help pay for a rather expensive hobby (or "hobbies" if you include flying).

    Have fun!
