Partly it'll be that primes are niche items for those who desire the highest quality at any cost. They don't make so many so economys of scale cannot be used.

Would you like to denote the photo for a test Clarky, I'm curious if Autodesk Stitcher does a better job for that money.

After all, we still let ttk hang around here and he's a Canon user now.
Samsung cameras are allowed to do that, so I think it's more the question if Samsung owners are still allowed to post ans submit photos when the camera's aren't comparable anymore.
I'm with the K-mount part, lenses are more important then the camera after all.

If Samsung move away from the trend of recent years where Pentax and Samsung cameras have been functionally almost identical then this forum will become less useful to Samsung users and I would expect to see fewer of them, but I wouldn't bar them specifically.

Of course in our case one of us deffinitely owns any given lens and simply lends it to the other for specific occasions, and being family trust isn't really an issue.

I use Hugin to do my stitching, it can handle as many images as you can give it although you'd better have plenty of RAM to edit the final result!
Unless you have a proper pano head for your tripod, stick your thumb under the aperture ring and rotate around that point. Close enough for most things.

Having grown up with zooms I suspect I am a little spoiled
I believe if I had to go to just 3 primes it would end up being 21, 90 macro, 300. I would be very tempted to keep my nifty fifty rather than getting the 21 though. I don't go in for wide angle much.

I can see the benefit - cutting out the wear caused by plugging and unplugging the card or USB cable, but being that slow hardly justify it.

The focus will be fixed so you have to move the camera/subject to bring the subject into focus. Also you will have to stop down the aperture manually.
Optically the results from this setup will be pretty good, not quite what you'd get from a true macro lens but probably the best way to try it out on a tiny budget.
