Yes, Heliopan as well, although we don't often see them around.

An 8 bit TIFF would be the norm. There's very little need for 16 bit TIFF unless you have specific reasons for using it.

The definitive PSE book is "Photoshop Elements 7 The Missing Manual" by Barbara Brundage. Try Amazon.
It will be money well spent.
Generally I keep a large version as an unsharpened TIFF. I then use that to make any other size of image from, be it for printing or for web. After resizing for the different purposes I sharpen as appropriate to that size.
Always sharpen last and bear in mind that a web image will need a different amount of sharpening to an A3 print.

In the case of SRS, just phone Chris and he will want to help you.
In tha case of the SDHC cards I would return them and if there's a problem report it to Amazon. They can't know everything that goes on with an individual Marketplace seller unless told.
In the case of the eBay seller, then always contact the seller first and establish what they are going to do to solve the problem. If that fails, then a PayPal claim is the final step.
These things happen, but when they happen all at once it does get a bit wearing that's for sure. I'm just waiting now for a very slow seller to send an item - this one is always the same, has to be prompted but sends good stuff in the end.

The Jessops gun is totally unrelated to the Pentax one, apart from having a similar number in its name.

They should be replaced by a lens. There's very little need for a body cap apart maybe for a backup body. The shipping cap is adequate, but the proper bayonet ones are much better.
I usually find I need a supply of both these and lens back caps as sometimes I buy body+lens and then sell them separately, so there's aleways a shortage of caps.
The low cost option is to buy a "bumper pack" of them on eBay, and in fact I have just done that. I'm waiting for the package to arrive as we speak.

The SMC 135mm f2.5 is a very fine and very rare 6 element lens. The Takumar (bayonet) 135mm f2.5 is a 4 element design that performs well enough on film, but I have no idea how is behaves on digital.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
