Jul 17, 2010 at 1:47 comment added jrista The problem with this is you end up with too many tags. There are probably a hundred tags just accounting for all the variety of different camera models from the major manufacturers. Let alone all the variations of lens models numbers dating back...decades. I think brand and item names are ok, but model numbers are extremely fine grained. A combination of search and tag can take care of the necessary specificity.
