Mike you're asking me questions I don't Know.
There are some users here that use the program that can tell you all about it.
As for now I can only point you at their site.

5 high quality surely aren't a problem nothing to worry about for the normal user I believe.
However you can push a RAW file further in PP than a JPG because JPG throws away the data you can't see so if that's the data you try to recover you can't

The first one is the most real to me but still not perfect, the darker blue on the left is the problem I think. You might even want to make the sky even more brighter.
The darker sky looks unnatural and it's draws my eyes while I want to look at the castle.
edit:
A very quick PP to show you what I had in mind.

Yes the MZ-7 has a full KAF mount but not a KAF2 mount like you said, the MZ-5 & 10 do have a KAF2 mount, maybe Pentax dropped the PZ to save some money???
The MZ-6 & 7 indeed have the most compatible mount of all Pentax cameras besides the lack of PZ & SDM support.
The MZ-30, 50 & 60 have a Crippled KAF mount, that's what I mean with most are crippled http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/technology/K-mount/crippled_AF.html

It turns off after 3 minutes and after 6 in A-mode and 1 hour when set to wireless.
I don't know if you can fool the flash if you set it on wireless instead of on?
I've looked into the manual and that's all i could find.
You could power it up when pressing the release button on your camera but that isn't help full either.

DxO is software specially for camera's and they optimized also for the lens that are used I believe, I've never tried the software but from what I've heard it's pretty good.
Here is the site www.dxo.com
I just wanted to let everyone know that the K7 is now support finally, I wish they also support the DA*50-135 and the other DA* lenses

SRS has a used section, you pay a bit more but you've ate least a warranty and it's from a good shop, that's worth something.

I don't know the older lenses but I'm sure some here can say which ones are good or not.
The Pentax A 70-210 f/4 looks intersting to my untrained eyes, a bit over budget though but the A setting of the aperture make it more pleasant to use on Digital link

Explain what Mike, I believe the link to their website explains what it can do or not?
I just see the software support the K10D with the DA*50-135 so I'll give the trial a try but I'm off to my parents home this weekend so can't give you a review soon.
I would say just try it out Mike it costs you nothing
