Hi all. Not sure it burned itself out, or I did. I had to drop off the forums for a while. There was also a challenge that it was getting harder to hustle for submissions with each successive round. A bit of naivety on my part, I guess, although I also saw other contests like the weekly caption contest falling flat at times. I'm trying to get back into things and will revist and restart this if there is interest. This includes catching up on earlier rounds if there were winners to announce, and at least completing this round even if I don't launch others.

maybe finish this one out and have one final one as a free for all, any lens as I really want an excuse to show off the SMC A* 400/2.8.

I recently came back to the forum after a few years away and saw the announcement for this, but never did find the threads. Too bad, it looked like a good idea.

Well that sounds like a good reason to revive the current challenge. I will push onward

any thoughts on this theme continuing?

**MSL** · 04-07-2022, 06:04 AM

I do have some thoughts but I'm not sure about continuing as a contest or just a monthly "special feature" to highlight, and thus whether to keep it as focal length ranges or to have every FL available when looking at things like starbursts, DOF etc.

I would like to continue participating, I hope your ideas to continue.
