Is there anyway to set the aperture? Is it even necessary?

You can't set anything on the extension, it's only a tube with pieces you can take off depending on the macro you're looking for. Of course you can set the aperture to what ever you want on your camera. But this tube is great, and can't beat the price.

Yes, we can adjust shutter speed, but I am not sure about aperture. I have never been using it.

assuming you are not in full auto..yes..you have enough buttons on the body to change almost all the settings ..such as : wb,iso,s.speed,aperture,picture mode,etc.

you only focus manually and set the aperture. exposure time is calculated or set by the camera, depending on your shooting mode (Av / Tv etc). I have a Canon.

If you want keys instead of the classic dial, the X-E1 may not be the camera for you. The aperture dial is on the lens itself, like in many film cameras. You can set the function key if you prefer to use that for aperture adjustment instead.

The camera controls the aperture, set it at f22 and forget it. Beside why would you not want the camera to control the aperture. If you switch to A or M mode you can set it to whatever stop you need and the camera will close the aperture down to that setting when the shutter is pressed. On some very old nikon cameras you needed to use the apertue ring and set it at the aperture you wanted, but if you where shooting something at f16, the viewfinder was almost black.

Set mode dial to A (aperture priority). Press EXPOSURE button. Aperture value is displayed at bottom of screen. Change aperture value by use of backward or forward cursor button. Press EXPOSURE button again to set desireed aperture value when it is displayed.

Use "A" on the mode dial. A stands for Aperture Preferred. Focus the camera on something, press the shutter half way down then release, and you will see the shutter speed and F stop through the view finder. Twist the main selector dial to change the shutter speed and F stop. Quit twisting when the aperture you want is shown. Start shooting. The F stop you selected will be used, that is why it is called Aperture Preferred mode. By the way, I suggest reading the manual that came with the camera; this and many other good questions you have will be answered. Then you will appreciate your camera more.

Hi Beth, yes, you can change the aperture settings as well as the shutter speed, ISO level and exposure compensation in Manual mode. Thanks_Mitch

Yes. But you don't necessarily have full control of aperture settings. But it works.

Yes you can the camera will set the aperture that you dial in. I use aperture priority on d300 and d7100 Nikon all the time.

Yes, there is a manual setting where you can choose both aperture and shutter speed. (Plus lots of other settings.)

The apertue setting is set to f22 on the lens and then you can change the aperture via the camera. That is normal for all D lenses.

There is no aperture on a mirror lens. They cannot be "stopped down." As a mirror lens, the aperture is fixed, therefore you have to adjust the exposure using shutter speed.

I don't know but I don't think that you can do anything but manually focus with these lens babies... they are not designed to autofocus so there is a bit of a learning and experimenting with them till you get the look that you want....each aperture ring gives you a slightly different look... so you have to know where to direct your focus.. and that has to be done manually....

i believe this is a manual only lens. change the aperture by turning the aperture dial on the lens itself.

I am not sure if you are asking how low can you go as in is there lower then 1.8, BUT aperture can go as low as 1.2 which is EXPENSIVE. 1.8 is just fine if you are thinking cost effectiveness.
