Well i wasn't prepared for this problem but it was necessary to deal with.
Imagine 100-200 members in time possibly more. Now imagine everyone submitting for instance 20 photos. A flood of photos of questionable quality and category (who would categorize them?). As i see it such a group wouldn't make sense to anyone.
There are two pathways for group to make sense in long term. First option as above: a sharing depot, place to upload mf lenses photo results with minimal artistic aspiration (post-production alterations undesired) but more for comparison purposes. This option would also strongly interfere with http://www.mflenses.com gallery. I don't want that.
Second option: collection of best photos made with MF lenses. Group symbol would stand as proof of some quality and would give some guarantee artwork is interesting for art watcher and manual focus lenses fan alike.
For second option to become alive and group as such appreciated CENSUS for new submissions must be defined. There is no jury yet so census must be based on objective Deviantart standards. I've been on DA for few years and found out there is pretty good mathematical way to select interesting work: 10% of the total views must go to favorites in long term. Percentage tends to slowly descend in time. Also first favorites sometimes go to "friends", so the census would start approximately like this:
100 views - 20 favorites
200 views - 35 favorites
500 views - 50 favorites
In future there might be enough moderators to make a jury and enhance this system.
Of course MF lens used should also be specified (i am also playing with the idea that only more then 20 years old lenses are valid, but i am not sure about that).
I hope you agree with idea behind this: Group should rise awareness and appreciation of vintage manual focus lenses.
Please comment and let me know what do you think. I will give myself a week or two to decide. If my orientation described above shows as missed shot i will try to open the group for all submissions and let it flow to unknown .
Sorry for this s...,
Jure

hi Jure..
Thanks for explanation -- you're right ..
So, does the volume of our pictures in our own galleries affect your profile as a group?
Thanks

Trifox thank you for understanding - i really didn't want to curb your or others enthusiasm.
Otherwise you have practically unlimited space in your own gallery. This has nothing to do with group. You are unrestricted by size & quantity of submitted photos even as non-premium. I don't know what bonuses you have received since i was always fully satisfied with free type. Only recently i have some wishes to manipulate entry page more and ads are in a way annoying.
I can suggest you still don't upload serially and all at one time since exposure is a bit controlled. I mean your first photo that day has higher chance to get on DA first page (getting many views faster) then second and so on.
