The Pentax sync speed is 1/180th and imo is fast enough, the flash itself will freeze most things and you can always reduce the speedlight output in some cases down to 1/64th for even quicker flash duration.

For portraiture I still use 1/125 as the Chinese triggers cant cope with anything higher.

Just a quick thought, have you tried turning the lever to MF ( manual focus ) on the front of the camera

I tend to use an Artic Butterfly, generally removes the need for a wet wash and tbh only need to us it 3 or 4 times a year, and I prob shoot over 500 frames a month on average.

[quote but I can only assume he had his camera set to produce very small file sizes.[/quote]Yes, I do Raw + the smallest Jpg possible, the Raw stays on the card, the Jpg copies to the Tablet and displays.

#1 looks more natural, #2's sky imho is a tad over processed, perhaps come 1/2 way between the 2 for the ideal image.

I had problems with some SD cards a while back and found that it was the reader and not the card, throu this forum, I was advised to use a reader designed for the card and not a 10 in 1 type, since then, all's been fine.

It certainly concentrates the mind compositionally and your legs become the zoom......... for me I'd take the DA 18-135 gives you a little flexibility, if you feel really brave then take the DA 16-45 and some decent walking boots
