Be prepared to get a non-english manual with your camera. No real problem, you can download an english one from the Pentax web site.
Hama equipment is well made budget gear. I have a Hama video tripod for my camcorder and I'm please with it.

Some ND filters are a good idea. Unfortunately I can only find 3/4 1/2 and 1/4 filters and I's like to get some even lower light levels for very long exposures. Anyone know where I can get them? Something like 1/8 or even less transition.
I have a relatively good tripod, but heavy, that I'm happy with. I'll get a lighter one eventually.
I have a UV, ND and CP 55mm for the Fujifilm camera but I've noticed that they cause AF problems in strong light (they are not multi-coated). Now I was lead to believe that the anti-reflection multi coating was standard, only to learn later that it is only on the more expensive filters. Will a lens hood be good enough to fix AF and reflection problems?
EDIT: I don't have the camera yet but already downloaded the manual from Pentax
