It possibly should but I think you should really think of your AV as the last line of defence rather than relying on it to keep you safe.

A quick look at our software inventory suggests all our machines have been upgraded to later versions of the CS suite.

Also US-Cert Security Bulletin suggests this also affects Photoshop 5.5 which is different to what the Register article at the top states.

I liked the magazine as well, I think one of the problems with it though is that there is rarely any Pentax news.

We send and receive lots of tiff's at work via the drawing office. Any old drawing that predates the CAD systems are scanned as tiff's and embedded into an autocad dwg as a separate layer. Very often these drawings will be updated by other engineering teams outside of our company.

The CS Suite is installed on all the drawing office machines so I appreciate the 'heads up'.

I realise this different to how many people may use Photoshop but there are several valid reasons to why you may receive a tiff from a 3rd party as Adobe CS suite isn't just aimed at photographers.

I have PU Plus membership and don't really think much of it, I initially signed up for it because there was a particular article that I thought I'd find useful, though in reality the information was available elsewhere.

To be fair I think I'd find it better value if I contributed more to forum. I don't post many images and don't make suggestions for interesting articles so it's kind of hard to complain too much.

No, but that does't mean that it isn't fun to try ourselves as that is the image that will have a personal connection, that doesn't mean I don't want to recreate it myself ...

I could take a picture of my carpet which I can guarantee is unique, fairly sure no one else want's a pic of it though ....

I would buy a b&w camera, but not at £6000

I buy reasonable branded 3rd party (Uniross) batteries for my K10D / GX20 and they are at least as good as the official battery, if not better. I don't think I'd buy the cheapest ebay ones though.

Anyone use the 8mm Samyang/falcon/etc fisheye lens?
I haven't seen may images from it...
I would be interested too, as it costs about £200 against a Pentax or Sigma which s twice that amount. I know the Samyang is manual focus but its DOF is massive so it would be hard to be out of focus.
I'd be interested if anyone is able to compare the two as the Pentax second hand price isn't much more than a new Samyang, I've been tempted several times but I'm tight

I believe all the Samsung lenses are identical apart from the cosmetics such as the blue & green bands, etc. Some people suggest the Pentax versions may have different coatings but that's just speculation.

Edit - I have the Pentax version of this lense and it's brilliant!

Thanks, just downloaded K10D and K20D pdf's - more for interest than any desire to fiddle around with my camera's.

I have a copy of the GX10 service manual if you'd like that? It's different to the K10D manual in that it's 217 pages but I suspect it's the user manual, parts list and service manual all in one document.
