And they've all paid out several hundred pounds for them? No need to answer that, I don't want you to incriminate half your club.
The short answer is that I have no idea and it's not really for me to ask. I assume that they have.

What I can tell you is that the clubs own copy of PS7 was purchased for £580 or so, and the upgrade to CS2 cost an additional sum that I forget, but may have been around £135.

Organisations certainly cannot dodge the issue, and individuals will find it more and more difficult to once Vista becomes the norm. I presume this is much of the reason for introducing Vista?

We'll never know, because even a poll will only tell us how many PS users there are who bother to answer polls.

At the camera club I would guess 90% plus of the members are PS users, mostly CS2 but quite a few 7. And a growing minority of CS3.

Photoshop is the "industry standard" and although there will be users of other programs, PS probably accounts for a very, very high percentage.

I've never used Paint Shop Pro, but I know there are keen users out there.

Nice colour and excellent sharpness on the weather vane.

I wonder if the pole and wires in the background are not a bit distracting - perhaps they could be cloned out?

I believe the Tokina is advertised as having a water reesistant coating.

In any event, there is no K fit Tokina, for that we have to buy a Pentax version. I wouldn't be surprised if the optical cell were not identical - it's the only way it makes economic sense IMHO.

The extended metal rim is a flange.

I can't identify that flange properly, the picture is too dark. However, if there's any chance it would foul the mirror movement it ain't worth the risk.

I've said it before, but why not just stick to Pentax lenses?

If it doesn't fit properly, don't put your K10D at risk by trying to make it fit.

Clearly something is seriously amiss if it doesn't bayonet smoothly into place.
