It's a very useful lens and I use one on the K-1 most of the time.

Your lenses are carefully designed and putting another piece of glass in front of them can only degrade the image, however slightly.

The hood does offer protection and I'd not use any filters unless there is a specific reason. Protection from salt spray could be one, or the use of a polariser as that can't be duplicated in software.

You already own the copyright in your photos and don't need to do anything.

If the newspapers have used your images without permission, as they can't unpublish them ( a website could take them down) you might consider sending them an invoice.

Adobe products have always run just fine since we started using them at Photoshop 6.

When we did have one problem, contacting Adobe got someone sensible on the phone who talked me through how to fix it.

As with any market leader there will be detractors, but at the end of the day it is the industry standard for good reason.

Things are afoot regarding the issue and it will be addressed ASAP. It's just a matter of when IT can get to the various issues on the list.

You may have noticed that the shutter speeds are now being reported correctly. More things to follow, but it does take time.

It's called spam. Easily removed, now gone.

Title corrected.

Incorrect links removed.

Looks a bit spurious when we can use a K mount film camera for film or a K mount digital camera for digital. With a Mount Adapter K we can also use M42 lenses.

So I don't see any advantage to a Pentax user really.

No, that's not compatible.

Looking at the camera bodies on my shelf, both Canon and Nikon do also have overhangs in many cases.

It would probably be best to buy the Samyang lens and return it if it doesn't work as needed, or if possible go and visit a shop that has it in stock. The latter might be more difficult.
