Excited to be part of this project! Just started a 365 to get me shooting more, my 'keeper' shot for this thread will double as one of my 365 for my blog. Thanks for letting me join! :thumbup:

I would love to participate but I can only use the lens in February or April (on the road for work the rest of the months till July and I don't want to hold up the process). I wish you all luck in Round 3.

So, how would the other participants--and Sparky--feel if I let Tee "cut line" in front of me? Since he's limited in his availability to shoot with it and I'm not, I'd be willing to give him my spot so he'd get in February. Ideally, I'd like to still be next in the list, so it would go from Tee to me and then on down the list as originally published--but that would mean backing EVERYONE up a week, so if everyone isn't cool with that, I'd be willing to just give up my spot and move to the bottom of the list.

I'd rather see everyone that wants to get a chance to shoot with the lens, since that's what the project is all about.

I would be truly humbled if that could happen. The reason I did not participate in the previous 2 rounds (but enjoyed following very much) is because I'm gone...a lot. I'm changing to a totally different career in July (moving to Philly, no traveling- woohoo!) so maybe I'll add my name to the list then. I appreciate the kind gesture sm4him. That is extremely nice of you.

I'll wait until the summer and throw my hat in the ring.

I don't have a problem with it, but that would mean everyone else would get bumped further back. I guess I would need to here from a few of them first.

Agreed.
But option 2, as I mentioned, would be that, if ANYONE on the list does have a problem with it, I'd be willing to just be bumped to the end of the line instead, if that means Tee can go ahead and participate.

Tee, if you just WANNA wait till July and see what happens, that's fine, if you're sure you can do it then. But I do want to be sure you can participate.

Sparky, I'll wait till the summer. I truly appreciate the kindness from sm4him, especially since I can be a bit of a pill at times.:mrgreen: However, it wouldn't feel right.

It matters not to me where I send it...just my $.000000002 cents

After I posted my first reply in here I realized that this project will probably be going on for a while. I didn't want to miss out but with the list of generated users so far, it looks like this will be a project that will last a while (meant in a good way).

Thank you, though. I appreciate the consideration. :heart:

Alright, then, if you're sure you'll be able to participate come July or so, then I'll be happy to let Rat go ahead and send it on to me as scheduled.

Actually, you know, looking at the current list--if each person actually sticks to precisely seven days, and allowing 2-3 days for the lens to go from one person to the next--if you sign up now to go on the end of the list, it will probably BE July before it's your turn. And if not, as Sparky laid out originally, you can always ask to be skipped temporarily when it does get to you and just move a bit further down the list.
