You can use them if you get a screw mount lens.
I have used this setup for things that don't move at all. For things that could get spooked it's best to use a bellows with auto aperture control.
I doubt there is such a thing as a K lens to screw mount body adaptor because the throat of the screw mount lens is smaller than a K mount.
The adaptor you have will let you fit the bellows to your camera body, but be careful, the bump that holds the pop up flash can foul the bellows making it very hard to get them off on some Pentax bodies. I got around the problem by interposing an extension tube between the body and the bellows.
That said you will be happier if you get a set of K mount auto bellows.

That is normal for all Pentax DSLRs with the same switch.
When I first got the K10D I found it all too easy to move the switch from AF-S to AF-C without intending it. I bought the grip to move my fingers away from the switch and no more problems.
So the first accessory I got for my K7 was a grip.

They're no doubt referring to the Pentax AF mount. Unfortunately they mean 'A' mount which allows the lens to transmit the aperture information to the camera and assists with auto exposure.
These tubes don't have the power contacts for SDM AF. Since the contacts were originally designed for the short lived 'power zoom' nobody could foresee their use for AF. You can now buy tubes with the contacts and they do work with SDM lenses. Ironically Kenko are the most commonly found ones.

I wonder if Ford still offer total support for the Model T?

There's a switch on all SD (SECURE DIGITAL) cards.
To the OP, where did you buy your card? 99.9% of cards bought on the internet are fakes. It's common for these cheap copies to come with a virus pre-installed. Watch out for this with cheap software bought on line too.
BTW it's better for the card of you reformat it rather than just delete files too. Makes better use of the space available and is more stable.

Another dumb question ... are your exposures OK?

The lead must be standard because I've used the same USB lead on my Pentax DSLRs, Fuji and Canon point and shoots and my multi format card reader.
