    Nice lens! I was in the Halloween Magazine and seem to have gotten lost. I had no traffic to my lenses and couldn't find them any where. Now it seems like I'm back in that position. I can't find my lenses anywhere with in the magazine or on this monster board. Would I be better off on my own, since I can't find my lenses any where?
