    I have one suggestion for readability/user friendliness. In the reviews section, specifically in the 3rd-party and Nikon reviews, many of the postings are not actually reviews. There is a photo of the lens, and a statement that the site hopes someday to have a review. That is all fine, certainly, but can get a little frustrating to site visitors who are browsing through that section. After a few strike-outs, you tend to quit looking at the other "reviews", so ironically all the work that went into doing actual reviews on some of the lenses is wasted, as most people won't click on all the "duds" to find all the real reviews.

    I think it would be clearer, and would avoid potential frustration, if there were some way to know (without clicking each one) which ones are actually a review, and which ones are merely a link to a place-holder photograph. It could be as simple as an asterisk next to the ones that are just place-holders, with a footnote below explaining the meaning of the asterisks. Or, you could have a separate heading for these, so there would be headings for "Reviews" and "Discontinued Lenses" (as we already see) and now also a heading/grouping for "Photo Only."

    Just my 2 cents. I really enjoy the site, and value the reviews.
