Eye-fi is good for most things but is not a substitute for a good tethering program, like you've already said.
I assumed it could send live view over the cable, i hope the tethering program for the 645D can do that... would be really interesting to see that the program could control the AF.
You simply click on the Live-view where you want to focus and the PC does Contrast focus on that part of the screen. That would be so useful.
You might even can program it to focus bracket
With Lightroom you can say it should watch a folder for changes, not sure if it works real-time or not.

The Eye-fi card will do 99% of what you want from tethering
and there's no leads to fall over
Ever heard of wireless USB?
How would you watch the screen/live-view 100 meters away?

What's the difference with a normal apochromatic?
I think adapting one is out of the question, you need to work so precise and you are change elements of a lens so who can say that you don't need to adapt the other elements as well, you are probably looking at reconfigure the complete lens... good luck with that
Many lenses these days have apochromatic and/or aspherical elements, what focal length do you want?
This the DA 17-70 for example, it has both.

I see, that would be an interesting one for Macro photography. Thanks for that
It's mostly used in the studio, think about making photos of products and such.
I don't think it's very useful for portrait but that's me though.

I know you can find them on ebay or else you can buy them here and let them ship over.
They are around €60 (around 50 pound) in the stores.

So would that mean that I can get GPS data in to my EXIF file for pictures taken with my K5?
(I hopefully can order tomorrow from SRS, if the cheque has cleared ).
Next day delivery may not be an option this time round due to the weather condition
With this you can connect your camera to the computer and use your computer to controll the camera.

Will tackle the points that i can this week, hopefully i can improve them more.
i love these shot stefan, the blur seems right to me. it made the photos more lively..if only you could remove the mic from the first picture
great set
I can remove the mic, no problem, consider it done

I also only see the aputure for £69 on ebay but that's too expensive this a far better price link
The canon 450D, 500D & 550D use the same connection as the Pentax camera's
ps. i see a differnce aputure can only be set up to max 399 photos and the other one to 999
