Peter Rogers camera shop in Stafford is having an in-store Open Day on Sat 17th June.

Pentax reps will be there, with "probably" deals on the day.

The Adobe programs, for instance, do copy the lens model from the maker notes to the exif, but it appears they only do this if the lens pre-dates the software. It's not that it cannot be done though so one has to presume it deliberately fails to make the transfer to persuade users to upgrade.
I believe that the lens sends a code to the camera that identifies the lens, rather than a full description. The software has to know which code corresponds to which lens.

So if a new lens is introduced after the software, the software cannot give a correct description until code-to-lens description table has been updated.

Substantial is right..

Now, if were half the size and a quarter of the weight, it would be great..

This is the Fotodiox 'Wonderpana' system, not the Lee. I believe the Lee is a bit smaller, tho' I've no direct experience with it.

In this system only the ND Grads are rectangular. The CPL and non-Grad NDs are all 145mm circular.

...this is NOT.

Circular filters are 145mm, rectangular filters are 6.6inX8.5in.

I have also had the feeling that the 28-105 tends to over expose.
+1, I routinely use negative compensation with this lens on the K1.

That said, I find it an excellent lens for hiking or holidays (compact, low weight and good IQ).
