Nice work! What are your impressions of the focus peaking?
I can think of a thousand and one uses for it, and the Pentax implementation
of it is most excellent.

I'm glad to hear it. Its omission is one of my few complaints about
the K-5 II (and my E-PL5).

I'm playing with focus stacking, focus peaking makes this an incredibly useful 
creative tool.

Focus peaking is just a live view aid, correct? Why does it make focus stacking 
useful?

You can "scan" the macro you are shooting with focus peaking. You get a fairly narrow band of in focus so you just move the macro rail either forwards or backwards slightly, making sure you overlap the area of focus on each picture.
