I'm still trying to figure out how good the bokeh is of the lens...
edit: found out and it isn't what I was looking for but still looks like a very interesting lens though.

I wonder if one could skip the intermediat step and just contact print or expose photo paper in the darkroom off an lcd monitor? or use a digital projector instead of film in an enlarger?
I think you could even adapt a normal projector but I think the resolution isn't high enough...
I think the cheapest would be to print on transparent paper and use a normal film enlarger or use it as a contact sheet to get it on film or don't you think that will work?

With calibrated I mean with a machine and not by eye.

Could it be the chip in the sigma lens?
I don't know who pays the bill.
Instead of Pentax making sure the lenses fit, Sigma makes sure the Lenses fits the camera that's why older lenses sometimes does not work correctly.
here is something on flickr about it http://www.flickr.com/groups/sigma_lenses/discuss/72157606282211513/
here is the contact information for Sigma.

The thing is your lens seems to work okay so I think something else is going on, you could check you exif data if the lens focal length and that sort of thing show up properly.

But you can still make perfect photos with them so don't worry
here is a compatibility chart http://www.mosphotos.com/PentaxLensCompatibility.html
Also there is a 1.5x crop view so your lenses will appear 1.5x longer then on film but don't forget focal length stays the same it's just that the view is more cropped.

But you can also make (print) a contact sheets and work from there, I believe.
I've never done anything of this so don't ask me any details

The Pentax M 50mm f/1.7 will work very well on the K7 but you need to use the K7 in manual mode but you can press the green button to preform a stop-down metering, it's like Av mode on command.
I don't know what mounts the other lenses are so I can't comment on that.

I'm however really in love with the Saarloos so it would take a lot to take my mind from that.
