- Aperture Range: f/2.8 to 32
- Tele-Macro Lens
- Weather Resistant (WR) with 6 Seals
Optimized for DSLRs and compatible with film SLR cameras, the smc PENTAX-D FA 100mm f/2.8 WR Macro Lens is constructed with an aluminum housing and 6 weather seals (thus the WR designation) so you can shoot in almost any environment without risking internal damage to the lens. Optical elements are treated with the Pentax Super Protect multi-layer coating to lower surface reflection, reduce ultraviolet rays, and deliver clear, high-contrast images. Plus, the configurations of its optical elements produce crisp, sharp images with no flare and ghosting. It also features a "Quick Shift" focusing system which allows you to easily switch between manual and AF modes.
Achieving life-size (1:1) magnification, this macro lens is ideal for the close-up photography including, but not limited to, nature, technical, medical or product applications. It is also great for portraiture. Its 8 rounded diaphragm blade configuration assists in producing out-of-focus areas of your images with a pleasing look.

Taking photos outdoors like a 50mm 1.8 is my plan while not necessarily macro, and not portrait. A go to lens is what I have in mind. Is this a reasonable expectation?
I don't really understand your question but if you're looking for a 50mm lens, this is not it. This is a 100mm lens that can be used on a full frame camera. Using it on a crop sensor camera would yield an equivalent 160mm. This lens, along with being a macro, may very well be used for portraiture.

I'm noticing there is no aperture ring. I have a pentax k1000 and I'm wondering how I could change the aperture with this lens. That option isn't available on older film cameras of course. Any solutions?
For those wondering the same, I found this alternative. It is on B&Hs site. "Rokinon 100mm f/2.8 Macro Lens for Pentax K. Has good reviews for other mounts, I'm assuming the same for the K-mount.
