[QUOTE="trevorsehrer, post: 376204, member: 34093"] Hey Bob, Yeah, Lenstag does depend on me still caring about it but I also have a blast running the thing and it's not that expensive to run since I do all the development (as well as everything else myself). Hosting costs are the only real expense but Lenstag was designed to only be used occasionally by its users so they're totally reasonable given the size of the userbase. And (thankfully) I have no shortage of potential volunteers to help fill in or otherwise assist (I would happily pay them for their work, too), so labor won't be a problem long term. The verification system has also evolved to be crazy-efficient just because it's easy to tweak it for big productivity gains, so on evenings where I have a few thousand verifications to do, I can usually knock 'em out, minus the typos I have to fix by hand because it's a hassle to get the images uploaded in the first place and I want to make sure photographers don't have to spend a lot of time on Lenstag. :) Happy to hear the value feature is mostly accurate. It's been the most difficult part of the project and continues to be an uphill battle (as mentioned earlier up the thread). I'm on an airplane right now so it's difficult for me to check other 28mm & 50mm lens prices in the database but if you want to PM me your incorrectly valued lenses as they are in Lenstag with accurate prices I can update them once I get to ground. FWIW, some lenses like the Canon (am I allowed to write that here? :) 50mm f/1.0 greatly increased in value after they stopped producing it and I've hand-edited the price to reflect its current value on the secondhand market. Not saying that's the case with your lenses but it could be (I've done hundreds of manual adjustments for users, so it's possible that I've just forgotten). [/QUOTE]
