I agree with you there. I think I jumped the gun too soon on that one.

Possibly, but then it's still lens-specific, and we have to address the
issue of whether or not the PUG is okay with that. I'm okay with that
theme, since I have lenses that meet the requirements, but others might
only a 50mm, or do wide angles only, etc.

Agreed. I don't expect too many people to be excluded from this gallery,
but as long as it's a possibility then maybe we should think about
rephrasing it. If we rephrase it to encompass the POV of a 70-150mm lens,
then even the wide-angle people could achieve that by cropping.

Not necessarily. I think that's a pretty big assumption.
