Thank you all... Got the place
It's a 3 month part-internship-part-edu scheme... Starts week after next... Unpaid but good experience for my CV...

This thread from the 'other forum' might be worth a read (tbh... from start to finish)

I had this lens a year or so back... Got a couple of good shots from it... Sold mine for a similar price...

I've 'Gumtree'd' a couple of times... Generally a good experience... Walked away from a couple of deals though too (When folk act dodgy they generally are dodgy) that I just didn't want to be involved with...

I hadn't made any adjustment but prompted by this thread I checked my new DA* 300 which needed +3 on my K-5, then checked my Sigma 70-200mm 2.8, which needed -5

Is there a usable guide on how to do this (apart from the manual)?
Is a focus chart essential?

There're are differences in the highlight from the 4 shots you posted but I don't know whether that's down to the model (who is stunning might I add) moving closer to the lights... Looks like K5 has less of a tendancy to blow out high lights (vest - hem 1st image from K200D)

But yeah... differences can be subtle

At f8 not much in a controlled setting such as yours...

Power down those strobes and shoot at f4 and you'll see a difference...
Shoot with available light, at f4... You'll see the difference...
Shoot at high ISOs in low light and you'll really see the difference...

K200D is still a stunning camera (reflected in current ebay prices if you consider ages and other newer Pentax models availible) but the K5 in lowlight will just hand it its a**e.
