You have to set the aperture by turning the aperture ring on the lens. It can't be set any other way as the lens has no way of communicating with the camera.

I took this one some time ago using the on board flash with a 50mm macro lens at 1/125sec.
So you can certainly get that frozen effect without any fancy equipment.

Thats understandable considering they are not that readily available. philstaff wrote:

It all comes down to supply and demand.
Thats just the K20 at work. All I do is a little cropping.
Packaged weight will be around 750grms Postage will be AU$25 + AU$17 to insure. Not cheap i'm afraid. I would be looking for around AU$400 for it. Boxed with case and all its documentation + hood, As new.
I'm not ready to let it go just yet though.

I really can't see any discernable difference in picture quality between the Pentax DFA-100 and the Sigma 105. The Pentax is lighter and easier to use, which is a big plus in my opinion. You can even include the Tamron 90mm which is comparable with the Sigma 105, mine is anyway which is an older all metal version. All 3 are optically excellent IMO.
I wouldn't really compare the 105 and 180 Sigmas, optically they are very good, but they both have thier good and bad points. Such as weight and working distances. I wouldn't sell the 105 and replace it with the 180, I would use both equally.
If the differences between the Si105 and the Pe100 are significant to you then switch but you have to ask yourself is it really worth it.
I will be selling the Sigma 105 in a couple of weeks time once I have finished playing with it and doing comparisons. hope this helps.
