8mm on a 35mm camera - so 12mm on APC?The new Metz will cover up to 8mm according the data they give and indeed the lens can be a problem, maybe use it off shoe with wireless P-TTL?
12mm for 135 format but since the angle of view is narrower on APS-C with a factor of 1.5x that means you can use 8mm lens with this flash for ASP-C cameras

If you're shooting in RAW then actually Lightroom might be a better option although it's more expensive than Elements and it's also different.
Lihtroom is a specialized software for processing photos, Elements is a (general) image editor like Paint Shop.
There are also more programs like Silkypix, Phaseone and more that are also specially for processing photos but they offer it all differently and have different features.
Just try them out to see which one fills your need.
About comparing screen with prints, it can also be you must calibrate your screen if you haven't done it.
A print company can't know the settings of your screen so they can't and won't calibrate their printers to your screen.

I mean almost precisely the same on this site in one comment.Since rumours feed people who repeat the rumours, the fact that two or more sources say the same thing is not significant.
Edit: The same thread I mean.

Gosh it's all getting very scientific!
I like the idea of the Metz 50, especially if it will cover 10mm on the K7. With the flash used straight on, will there be any problem of the shadow of the lens appearing in the frame, as it does with the onboard flash at 10mm? Also, surely you can get round the problem of the diffuser reducing the power of the flash by using ev compensation?
I'm in Washington at the moment, so tomorrow will go and see if I can find the flash and diffuser.
Sorry about that.Gosh it's all getting very scientific!

The lumiquest site isn't that hard to read and it explains it quite well the differences between diffusers link

With P-TTL you don't need to compensate, the flash outputs a standard value preflash and the camera calculates with the meter inside the camera how much flash it needs so any light modifiers or lens filters are taken into account.
The problem is you've limited flash power and at full discharge it can easily take 3 seconds to charge up again. If you use 1/4th of the power you can make 4 continues photos with flash instead of one every 3 seconds also you drain the batteries four times as fast.

They can't seem to agree here, it's really lens based which is faster. linkAnvh wrote:

The HSM on the 50-150 is supposed to be very fast.As for HSM vs SDM, what is the difference?
About the reliability we had a discussing about that, was curious if there was a difference besides that with the ultrasonic motors used.

My thinking though is that, while the Sigma seems a fine lens (especially at this price), it might not be the best option for my uses. At a recent shoot I used my DFA50 a lot, and the times that my DA50-200 came out were generally for at or around 200. That plus the weight/size of a zoom, and 'saving for longer and getting an FA77' is an idea that's increasingly beckoning to me!

A zoom might weight more than one prime in that range but you need more than one prime to cover the same range.

Didn't we had this rumour already a month or two back?

£676 over here, what the cheapest price you can find in the UK or another European country?

For photography Lightroom is just anything you need to be honest and it has things CS5 doesn't have like how LR manage your photos and how it does non destructive processing, all little things that make a difference for photography.
CS5 has a lot more to offer though but almost all his features are geared towards general image editing so you get a lot off things you don't really need or will ever used.
They both are very different programs, just try them out and see what fill your needs better, lightroom or elements.
Lightroom is very popular, almost 50% of the pro's use it so I'm sure you will find processing for that in magazines too and i've already seen countless workshops for it.
Here is a nice tip and trick site for lightroom http://lightroomkillertips.com/
