If it's not a constant 2.8, I won't want one.

Well the DA*16-85mm will make two of my lenses redundant as long as it's a constant 1:2.8 across the zoom range.
It'll completely replace my DA*16-50mm, partially replace my DA*50-135mm, and will dovetail nicely between the DA12-24mm and the Sigma 70-200mm.
I'll then have focal length coverage from 12-500mm with the Sigma 150-500mm with just 4 lenses, and a nice overlap between all of them.
That'll make my bag a bit lighter.

Pentax lens Roadmap.
Although it's the current map, it's already out of date. The long DA Telephoto planned for 2012 did arive in the form of the DA 560mm, but the roadmap hasn't been updated.

For me, there are not enough changes between Photoshop versions to warrant upgrading. I usually skip 2 or 3 versions, then upgrade. That will not be possible now and I probably will not upgrade at all due to the cost v benefits of Photoshop to me. I rarely use it.

I've never used PSE before, normally I use PS-CS4. I originally bought PS-CS, upgraded to CS2, skipped CS3, upgraded to CS4, skipped CS5, and I'm about to skip CS6 as well if PSE11 has all I need.

Mifsuds has a used DA* 200mm lens in stock @ £479.00 for comparison.

The 15mm is still listed as a current product here, but the 14mm is not so it must be discontinued. You might be lucky enough to find one somewhere though.

Photoshop CS6 is £613 for PC on Amazon. We paid about £350 for CS5 on special offer. We could upgrade, but don't really need to at the moment.
The problem now (or very soon) with Adobe software products is that you need to keep upgrading. Skip a version upgrade and you have to pay the full amount again.£900?

If it's not delamination because of the lack of any glued lens groups, it might just be a streak of oil/grease across one of the lenses inside, in which case it can probably be cleaned.
As for IQ, why do you "tend to believe him"? A blemish like this will certainly affect the image quality, but maybe in an almost imperceptible way.
Ask to see some original unworked image files taken with this lens to be sure the IQ is acceptable to you.

You sound like my wife. She went through the same process. Now she gets annoyed because she's missing out on messages and photos from the rest of the family.I'm glad I closed my Facebook account.

I got annoyed by constant invites to play banal games, but that's easy to get rid of by just changing the notifications you want to receive from individual people.
Facebook isn't for everybody I guess.
