pictures with one possible lens selection.\u00a0 I took the Pentax DA18-55 WR, a SMC M50 1.7, and the DFA100mm Macro WR.\u00a0 This combination gives me a broad focal range and also one fast prime.\u00a0 While I didn&#8217;t mind the manual focusing I would have preferred to have used an A series 50mm that would have provided aperture control through the camera rather than the lens.\u00a0 Otherwise it was a pretty good arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
