What if I'm using my 35-70 and think I was somewhere around 50?

I may be way off, and piss a lot of people off, but I think you all
are over regulating and over analyzing and about to ruin the whole concept.
It's going to be too much trouble to enter. And as recent events have proven,
what happens when we don't agree with the criticism leveled at our images? I
think there are quite a few- the majority I believe -- good or even great
photographers on this list that may not take to someone they don't know
trashing their images. And that's how it will seem, believe me, thanks to the
impersonality of electronic messaging. I think the majority of us know what
makes a good photo and try our best to achieve that. I'm not really saying we
don't have room for criticism, we surely do, but I just wonder how people are
going to take it.
Also- What are we going to do, have 40 categories to cover 16 -
1000MM? And don't forget 40 more to cover the use of a converter at each
focal length. No 80 more- it may be a 1.5 or a 2X converter now, couldn't it?
How about separate categories for SC vs. MC lenses, after all, _everyone_
knows there's no comparison between them!
