The word means "end" or "finish". :-)

Wide angles and flash can be a problem. The SB-50DX comes with a
diffuser panel to cover 14mm (Which will cover the 10-20mm at 10mm,
which is 15mm effective), not sure about the SB-80DX, although I can say
that without a diffuser panel it will not cover the entire frame at
10-13mm (Can't recall
I don't know whether Nikon makes a flash wide enough for this

diffuser panel for wider angle. I don't recall how wide it will

Shel,
With Pentax cameras you have the option of letting the camera pick the
active AF point automatically, or picking it yourself. There's never
more than one point actually determining focus (Although the other
points are used in Automatic mode to determine if the subject is moving

I don't understand the concept of multiple AF points (not that you said you
