huh? hm..you mean its on the lens itself???

so what happens if i wan to have an aperture of f16 or even f22?
i have to get another lens?

[noob117]

aperture is in the lens it self... pls google for it and read up.
to select a aperture u do it in camera.
minimum F-stops like 16-22 even 36 no problem all lens will have at least minimum F22
its the widest or max aperture that matters.

aperture is about the controlling of amount of light entering the camera right?? It's controlled by a diaphragm...The bigger it is, the more light it allows to enter.Thus have a smaller value for eg. F2.7...correct?

The aperture itself is on the lens. When you mount the lens onto the camera body, you can adjust the aperture eg. f2.8, f22 etc thru the body itself. However, there are some lenses which you can adjust the aperture on the lens itself. Errr ... can?

erm...one question, u mention can adjust the aperture eg. f2.8....thru the body itself...erm..basically what do you mean?? As in like in a digital camera? can adjust thru the lcd or the top part which shows value one?

[noob117]

but might need to set to aperture piority mode 1st.
yes its set thru the body.

Basically,

Lens for SLR camera that have an aperture ring so you can change the aperture without going into the system. Now, you can just need to go to manual and adjust.

orh...okay...so basically, to put it into simple words/sentence

if there is aperture ring on lens, use that
if threre is no aperture ring on lens, then use body to adjust...correct???

Erm...but if there is aperture ring on lens, can i use body to adjust too?

[i-link]

i think that's a yes.. correct me if i'm wrong..

Yes, but I think most of the new lens do not have aperture ring.
