If you're always ging to have the DA 14 or the 18-55 with you to cover the wide end then it may be ok. If you plan to travel light this may be more of an issue because 28mm is not wide at all on APS-C.

I initially tried two copies of the 28-75 and both had horrendous IQ, especially wide open which caused me to try a 17-50 instead, and I'm glad I did. The 17-50 has great IQ and I don't have to worry when I want a wide shot.

You can cover essentially the same range with a 14mm or 18-55mm plus 28-75 as I do with the 17-50 plus 70mm.

Personally I wouldn't hold my breath for a Pentax FF. The 645Z is what digital medium format should have been from the start and I think it will really take off, leaving little room for FF in the lineup.

If I hadn't just bought your Sigma 28-70 I'd be buying this. I have a K2 waiting for an expensive overhaul, but it's a beautiful machine that feels wonderful in the hands, better than any other film SLR I've used.

I have at least a dozen, as I develop my B&W at home so I always keep a few in case. I think some people do sell them on ebay but at daft prices.

The original K5 is still available on Amazon.

If you can't switch the tripod on it will have to be confiscated...

You're welcome. It really depends if they catch you or not.

When it finishes it will rewind automatically.

There's a line on the backing paper that needs to line up to an arrow on the film back. You load the film and wind it to there. Once the back is in the camera, the first time you press the shutter it will wind on to the first frame.

None of this has too be done in the dark, but as John said, don't let the film become loose or light will get in. Don't drop it or it will unravel.

I'm relatively new to flickr and never saw what all the fuss was about when they first changed it. I too got sick of the ads over on photobucket, far too intrusive.
