Hi all,

I received this today

yes... Kinya has been in contact with us and we are looking at distributing our RF (Macro) range through them.  They've been very good at answering questions and sorting through issues with us.. so, just might give them a fair go..  They have nothing to do with micro..  at all.

Will let you know how we go.

Cheers,  JC

I have received this message a few days ago, but I haven't checked the site yet.  Is it new?

Regards,

I have just started submitting to this site, too early and so little images to tell anything yet.

20% royalty if you have under 300 images, 30% over..yawn..

you're right...in RM/RF 30% is not on... that's why it's takes awhile to sort agreements..

I searched under bridge, a good selling catagory of mine, and here is an example of what came up.

among other blurry shots of people on a bridge with cameras

Think I'll stay away.

I think you have to pay to become a contributor there. I joined that site, but after it I saw, if I remember well, that you can be free member for 30 days, and then you have to pay to stay there...Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I'm not. They sent me several emails to upgrade my account or they will close it....
