The advice to use the 16-45 was a surprise. That is a
pretty flexible lens. Going down to 24 mm equivalent
may not be essential, but it is something I'd use.

There are quite a few deficiencies in being an owner of Pentax
system (you can throw all the rotten vegetables you want at me, I
know) such as: 1. lack of support and/or services 2. lack of
professional services, which to my understanding also includes ability
to rent expensive cameras and lenses for short periods of time
(something I'd love to do)
Pentax/Hoya announced a program for professionals and advanced
amateurs who jump through a few hoops (not a lot) whereby most Pentax
equipment, but especially the more exotic glass would be loaned or
rented for short term or specific projects. The hoops consist mainly
of making Pentax aware of your expertise and professionalism, then
starting with baby steps to built a rapport. Loans or rentals depends
on the relationship you have with Pentax, and the possibility that an
article would be published with Pentax credit in your byline. They see
the need for loans such as this as a sales opportunity, and creating
goodwill amongst those who would be most useful in promoting the
Pentax philosophy.
Get in touch. Sell yourself. Promote yourself to Pentax. It can have
good ramifications.
