A thorough understanding of the techniques allows us to express what we want to in our images. Here, even a simple thing like adjusting the shutter speed can give an infinitely varying range of effects. Nicely shown.

PU Plus members get 20% discount on servicing with JPS, so it's a great idea to sign up.

Basically it selects the amount of HDR applied. Auto lets the camera decide, and the other options can be selected and adjusted as you wish.

The best thing to do is to go out and try the options on a subject to see which you prefer.

The updating problem with the shop/SRS prices has been fixed, so there shouldn't be any more discrepancies.

Film development is a bit of a skill in its own right. It would be easiest for someone to show you how to do it, but there are plenty of good books available second hand at low prices.

Yes, you can develop any film as black and white, but for the best results the proper black and white films will be best. Not least because the correct development times will be published.

I'll ask them to check the prices. Sorry about that, but the 10% discount should still hold. Why not check out eBay and Amazon? There will be a third party hood as well and they can be fine, although I've had some that don't fit very well.

First, join PU Plus, then: https://www.pentaxuser.com/price-list/Pentax+Lens+Hoods will give you 10% discount on a hood from SRS Microsystems.

It's not priced at anywhere near £60 as far as I can see?

Telephoto lenses in particular have always been prone to CA, even on film. The first apochromatic lenses that tackle this go back a very long way and the Voigtlander Apo-Lanthar of the early 1950s is still regarded as a good performer.
