The 6x7 to k-mount adaptor allows for shifting the lens. That allows
you to have PC (perspective correction) when using 67 lenses on a
35mm body. Is the shift adjustment set to zero?

The 55mm f/3.5 _does_not_ have a gel filter clip at the rear of
the lens. It may have *only* the Pentax Bay67 100mm bayonet filter

They seem evenly matched -- the built-in zoom head and power control
on the 285HV give you some flexibility straight out of the box.
The 283 is simpler, hence more robust, and has more after-market
light modifiers.

Until my mindset switches, I often
"do the wrong thing" -- and discover that "Oh, its _this_ lens, zoom
is backward, but focus is normal". Normal to Pentax, that is!
And, even worse, the directions can _change_ across lenses, instead
of being the same for all -- as Pentax does.
C connector? If so, I think
it must work as William reports.

The gotcha is that buying your next lens (any lens) is what drives the
cost up into the shock-factor range. Of course, Zeiss or Schneider
glass is nothing to laugh at, but even the "economy line" glass costs.

suppose one could determine this by triggering the 165 LS manually

The other is to provide enough light that I can try to use a higher

inglight is the right solution;
it is easily portable, it will push all the shadows to locations that
can't be seen by the lens. If I use it in combination with a second,
easily portable, strobe to provide some contrast and shadow so that things
look 3d .. but without huge black strobe shad
photography tradeoffs are between
the two.

Something like an LX. Something that is a step beyond the PZ-1p.
