I think the Daylight settings and the other white balance settings aren't fixed settings but have some room to move within a set limit.
As for white-balance and colour-space, it does not effect the RAW data at all.

Steve I know what you're saying but you can't put useful pressure down the legs of a fixed monopod to increase stability.
It just depends on how you use a monopod.
You can use it as support for long lenses and add some stability, but you can also use it to replace the tripod (a bit) for long hikes and then you even use it with smaller lenses.
With the later I would go for with a ball head because you can angle the legs for optimal position to put some useful pressure down the leg to keep your camera stable.

Wouldn't make a swivel screen the camera (the screen) more fragile?

But if the SDM fails, how can you be sure that using the drive-screw does not make more damage to your lens the SDM and the Screw-drive are connected after all?In fact there have been petition demands for a firmware upgrade to enable screw-drive on these as an option on SDM-capable bodies (for if/when the SDM fails).
I think that's one of the reasons Pentax would not make such an option.
A slightly other note, have some of you notice slight improvement with AF speed when Using SDM lenses with the 1.31 firmware or is it just me?
I haven't tried screw-mount lenses so don't know about them.

I'm a little puzzled as to how Pentax can justify this price premium. I know folks will say that Pentax is backwards-compatible with lots of inexpensive but very good lenses from yesteryear, but selling to the "old guard" isn't going to keep Pentax in business. In fact it's a dead end. Pentax needs a Man with a Plan about going forwards and it is quite hard to see one.
It's quite simple like Pentaxophile already said it 3 of the 5 lenses you named from Pentax are made out of aluminium and you've 2 macro lenses with Pentax and with Nikon only one I'm a little puzzled as to how Pentax can justify this price premium.

As for full frame... full frame of what?
I think Pentax would no go into the 135film size market, because the market is quite small in that range and Nikon and Canon are dominating and Sony is struggling to get some food on ground there.

Stefan van HulstI guessed the vh was your surname - didn't work out the An part though
The idea came from a character in a book and she used the last letters of the word instead of the first to abbreviate and I thought lets try it with my name.
It didn't worked so well so played around till I had something.

No I just make a flickr account last week with the name Stefanvh87, I think you can now see where the Anvh comes from The Anviron Holding company?

Or some guy called Stefan on deviantART?

I also have a redbubble account under Anvh and on the Dutch pentaxforum also.

Pete are you using the wide angle holder? I use Cokin P series with my 16-55 which is also 77mm filter size but i do experience vignetting at around 18mm, I`m surprised to hear that a 10mm does not. Mystifying!

TAv with fixed ISO is manual mode after all.
Flash duration is near the 1/16000th of a Second, I don't think it matters much
The only way to control the flash is by these settings.
Flash-power - 1/1 is full 1/2 is one stop slower 1/4 is one stop slower again, ect.
Flash-distance - for every doubling you need twice as much light.
ISO - the difference of ISO 100 and ISO 200 is one stop the same between ISO 200 and 400, ect.
Aperture - is logical I believe.
Shutterspeed is the setting that balance things out, if you use long shutter speed more natural light comes in and vice versa.
