You don't really have to notify me but if I'm working on a lesson that involves macro and someone else is too, I'd rather not spend time working on it if someone else has already done it.
That's the only reason I put that there.
I define a Lesson as a tutorial on a specific function of the camera. Like the one I'm working on now which is about Focus.
But please! Jump in .. I'm not the last word on anything. I just volunteered.
