A trigger should just be that, a trigger. Once set off, the flash synch speed is 1/180s so the comment about black bands is rather mysterious at this moment.

If we are shooting pictorial subjects, where the colour of the light may be part of the beauty of the scene, then Daylight is a good setting, or Shade or Cloudy if you prefer something warmer still.

Using AWB will result in the camera trying to "correct" the colour of the light, which may not be what we want.

Using a slide film is an excellent learning tool for all photographers. What you shoot is what you get, so you find out very quickly how good you are at getting composition and exposure right!

My entry in this week's weekly comnpetition is shot with the 10-17mm, if that helps.

If you're using colour negative film, choose a recognised manufacturer such as Kodak or Fuji and you won't go far wrong. For best quality, stick to ISO200 or ISO400.

The OP is discussing colour print film. You are at the mercy of the processors so choose a good one and stick with them.

All colour print films up to ISO400 should be quite fine grained these days. Make sure the ISO value is set correctly in the camera.

If you decide to move into black and white then you can develop your own. The developer used and the film used can be tailored to give you the image style you prefer.

Posting shouldn't be a problem. The lens may have been faulty from the beginning, but to be sure just take some shots outside in good light at a variety of distances. It you're not happy, contact SRS.

I was referring to ditortion correction, but there is correction for CA as well. It will only work with JPEG capture.

It does slow it down, but not much. As it's probably only going to used for architectural shots that may not be a problem. I wouldn't use it for sports shots at 6 or 7fps!

I plan to use it when needed when we have our K-5s.
