-If you're new, say "hello" and introduce yourself to the group.
-Leave Kudos for a favorite Lens/Lensmaster.
-Do you have a suggestion/ question for the group or its members?

Join the conversation!

Please Note- All Comments Moderated!

THE FOLLOWING WILL NOT BE POSTED:

Gee, I hate to sound so cranky, but better to be forthright about the rules of conduct here.
1. Links or Requests to View or Rate NON-Member Lenses.
(a.k.a. Shameless self-promotion of Non-Member Lenses.) Please WAIT UNTIL YOUR LENS IS APPROVED for Group membership. How will you know?
Watch for the EMAIL CONFIRMATION, then promote it 'till the sea-cows come home!
2. Links to Adult Material/ Lenses/ Groups.
This is a G-Rated group!
3. ADVERTISEMENTS / AFFILIATE LINKS.
Groups are for promoting their MEMBER LENSES, and Lenses are a fine place for promoting products or services. Unless specifically invited to do so by the Groupmaster or Lensmaster, AFFILIATE LINKS BELONG ON LENSES, not in Group or Lens Guest Books. Only links to Official Member Lenses (see #1) will be posted here.
4. Requests for Group Admission.
Please submit lenses with the "add an existing lens" button to the right and above.
IF YOU HAVE A "TIMELY TOPIC" please feel free to bring it to my attention with the "CONTACT ME" feature (right sidebar). It will still have to be submitted the regular way so that I can approve it. Groupmasters are unable to "make" a lens join unless the Lensmaster has first submitted it with the "Add a lens" feature.

THANK YOU for keeping the conversation appropriate and relevant to the Group & Its Member Lenses!

CleanFace This is a great group i enjoy staying. I have bookmarked! Posted March 17, 2008

tonyab What a great idea for a group! I just submitted my newest lens. :) Posted March 02, 2008

LeslieBrenner I enjoy visiting lenses that are intelligent, well done, took some work, and where the emphasis is more on sharing than selling. So this is a great group, which I look forward to exploring! Posted March 01, 2008

poddys This is the sort of group I like to see - interesting lenses and NOT just a lot of links to things to buy. Ok you can add things to buy but make them relevant not the sole purpose of the lens. I could name lots of lenses that are just links to things to buy, and for some reason are in the Top 20 for their category... It does frustrate me somewhat... Quality is everything - great group.
