If the clear plastic piece that covers the numbers on a Pentax FA lens is
missing, is that an indication that it was probably dropped hard enough
that it might be optically compromised, or do those clear plastic pieces
sometimes fall off on their own? Or...?

I know that the *istD has a raw file option. Does the PhotoShop CS
(PS8) RAW converter support the Pentax files? I assume Pentax has a RAW
converter. Does it offer different file size options? Is the Pentax

That piece of plastic (so to the FA* lenses' metal frame) is held by a piece
of high strength double-sided tape. It can peel itself off sometimes,
although rare for non-FA* lenses. If the lens itself is free from any dent,
it should be safe.

It is in the professional prize range anyway,
CS doesn't support PEF format. they are rumored to be supporting in an

can't alter the image dimensions from RAW until it is in an image editing
