This was the leak http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2010/mfsa2010-08.html

Title: WOFF heap corruption due to integer overflow
Impact: Critical
Announced: March 22, 2010
Reporter: Evgeny Legerov
Products: Firefox 3.6
Fixed in: Firefox 3.6.2
Description
Security researcher Evgeny Legerov of Intevydis reported that the WOFF decoder contains an integer overflow in a font decompression routine. This flaw could result in too small a memory buffer being allocated to store a downloadable font. An attacker could use this vulnerability to crash a victim's browser and execute arbitrary code on his/her system.
Support for the WOFF downloadable font format is new in Firefox 3.6 (Gecko 1.9.2); this vulnerability does not affect products built on earlier versions of the Mozilla browser engine.

David, I think it will be hard to find such a lens.
The best might be a Tamron 70-300, DA 50-200 but above your price.
I think you should look for a prime, there are quite a lot of 135mm lenses I believe and they are sharp, fast and around the price you want.

Has anyone eaten a "Hollandse nieuwe" (soused herring)?

When wheat flour began to come into common use for making cakes and puddings, cooks in the north of England devised a means of making use of the fat that dropped into the dripping pan to cook a batter pudding while the meat roasted. In 1737 a recipe for 'A dripping pudding' was published in "The Whole Duty of a Woman":
Make a good batter as for pancakes; put in a hot toss-pan over the fire with a bit of butter to fry the bottom a little then put the pan and butter under a shoulder of mutton, instead of a dripping pan, keeping frequently shaking it by the handle and it will be light and savoury, and fit to take up when your mutton is enough; then turn it in a dish and serve it hot.
Similar instructions were published in 1747 in ‘The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Simple’ by Hannah Glasse under the title of 'Yorkshire pudding'. It was she who re-invented and re-named the original version, called Dripping Pudding, which had been cooked in England for centuries, although these puddings were much flatter than the puffy versions known today.

As for the thought of FF having a security issue, I have to chuckle. As we all know, it's perfect and it's only IE that has security issues - we have been told that so many times it must be true - must it not? Of course not. The simple truth is that every hacker and his dog have a go at Microsoft stuff, and virtually no-one bothers with the others. As a result, IE is actually a great deal more secure than most others and if anyone had a decent go at the opposition, they would find it quite easy.

Your flash is daylight (or very close to that) so simply set your camera on daylight and take a photo of something white and you can match the colour for the filter you need to use.
At least that's how I do it and I ain't no expert

The problem is that if you're indoors under tungsten lighting (orange) and your flash is daylight (blue) then you've a problem because you've two different colours of light and you can't change the colour temperature of just one light in PP.
Now there are also creative options to think of.
Here, look at this http://lightingmods.blogspot.com/2007/12/flash-gels-for-correcting-color.html

3 colours of gel won't do you much good for correcting because you're missing the 1/2 and 1/4 coloured ones and you need those when you shoot under mixed conditions.Yep they are, got my copy on saturday morning with 3 gels, red orange and blue

FA
DFA
I believe John have said that both are the same as well but I could be mistaken.
The DFA indeed feels a bit flimsy that's why I took interests in the DFA WR lately, you pay a bit extra but you get the quality of the limited lenses for that, you do lose the aperture ring though.
