Aperture control ring: Is this a manual lens or can you still set the aperture on-camera?

You can set the aperture on-camera. Sorry no one answered your question. I didn't see it till just now.

You have to take the camera out of Automatic mode. You can only use the lens in manual mode.

This is a purely manual lens. It does not auto focus on any camera body. If you buy the chipped version of the lens, you can set aperture from camera and you can see the green dot in view finder that helps in manual focusing.

Yes... *BUT* there is no automation here. No data pass-through to let the camera communicate with the lens and no way for the camera to adjust the aperture. You will be able to use it, but unless you have a lens that will let you adjust the aperture manually, you'll be stuck using it at the highest f-stop/lowest amount of light setting.

Yes, you can focus manually. Manual focus is on the lens. Just circulate the lens, and you will manual focus the camera.

This is a Nikon "D" lens. All Nikon "D" lenses have an aperture ring on them

The lens has an adjustable ring for manual aperture operation. However you don't need to use it as your camera has a wheel on the front to adjust the aperture setting. On the lens you will see a red tab to lock it at f/22, do that and leave it there and use your camera's wheel to make any f-stop adjustments. The D lens has this feature for manual setting control, if you want to use this setting then turn you camera to M for manual and then adjust the lens Aperture by hand by turning the ring. Hope this helps?

Hi, the manual focus ring is mechanical, however, in has what we cann an internal focusing - only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus so the overall length of the lens does not change. -Ely

The lens itself must have manual aperture. I returned this.model for a.more.expensive one with five settings.

by chip do you mean autofocus, or being able to control the aperture from the camera? If so, it does not, you have an aperture ring and everything is done manually on the lens.

On my camera, I have to set the focal length and enable the exposure ring function when using this lens. Once complete, everything is automated but the focus.

Short answer, no. It is a fully manual lens including aperture settings (which is what I wanted because I can use it on a 'C' mount video surveillance camera as well as my various Canon DSLR's, 350D, 450D, 7D. www.shevillmathers.id.au (Astronomer)

This lens is totally manual. You have to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. In fact, you have to turn off the auto focus and any other auto/electronic feature off in your camera

Honestly, I rarely use the four aperture settings to this device. I have old Nikon lenses that have manual aperture settings and I tend to use that a lot. However, with my new Nikon lenses I do use the 4 aperture settings. Unfortunately, they aren't accurate. Usually, I go by the viewfinder it tells pretty much by eye how much the aperture rings are opened to. I hope this helps. It's good product and I don't regret buying it.

you likely have to use the manual focus ring on the lens itself. This adaptor doesn't allow for auto-focus capability.

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....

The lenses I use all have an aperture ring so I don't use it. Not sure if a lens without would engage. Certainly I have no aperture control from my alpha7. The adapter ring only opens...if the lens ring is f8, you can only go wider on my lenses.
