Can you control aperture only with aperture ring?

Hi Vergue We tried the Nikon 28-70 and it can not be control with the aperture ring only. The aperture can only be controlled by camera body. Thank you. C&W lens

The answer depends upon YOUR camera. With newer digital cameras, you lock the aperture ring at it's smallest f-stop and control the f-stop via the control wheel on the camera. On older cameras, you control the aperture via the aperture ring. This 'feature' makes this lens more flexible than the newer 24-70, which is all but useless on older cameras.

This is best to use opposite the reverse ring to control the aperture 'cause you no longer have the ability to control the aperture TTL since the camera no longer is in contact with the contacts on the lens. This is mounted on the back of the lens, whereas the reverse ring is mounted between the front of the lens and the camera. ~hth

Aperture control is via the A7S. This adapter does not have a mechanical aperture.

No. The aperture is adjustable in all "creative modes." That is, A, S, M and P settings. You would "force" f/2.8, for example, if you locked ISO at 100 and then selected a fast shutter speed - in other words proper exposure would required f/2.8. In the Scene modes, you have far less control. Put the camera into Auto ISO and see if you still have this issue.

Just like any other Nikon SLR lens, the G type should have a small tab on the camera end of the lens that allows the camera to control the aperture. The Fotodiox reverse lens kit that you're looking at comes with an adaptor to connect to the lens mount on the lens that allows you to adjust the aperture. Without this part, you can also adjust aperture by controlling the tab with your finger, but it's much more difficult.

The reversal ring doesn't have electrical contacts that send information to the lens about aperture. You need to set the camera to manual mode to be able to use it without the contacts. Hope this helps!

I found it. The menu has a setting for a lens that has an aperture ring. So all I did was change the setting to "permitted" and it worked. So thanks to K. Johnson for the response and I will now put this forum to rest. What a great little camera, the Pentax Kx! And I just found out that it takes multiple exposure pictures; how much fun is that?

If it can, I have not found that setting yet. I recommend the Cannon Rebel Xti. I use it at work and it is amazing. I set it on action mode and you can snap away, just hold the button! And it has settings to change the aperture for different lighting.

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.

Yes, limited functionality: no AF, no metering. Aperture can not be adjusted electronically. So if your lens doesn't have an aperture ring, you can't change the settings.

The 1.4 is the lowest aperture. This i not the place to right a full lesson on what aperture achieves (paragraphs my friend!), but there is plenty of that info available with minimal searching required.

I'm having the same problem using this lens on my D80 camera. What you are saying is that there is no way for me to use the ring to adjust the aperture? It only works when locked on 22?? This doesn't seem right.

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

Since this lens is a little more basic than the other lenses, you have to lock the aperture ring in where the red dot is on the lens.. Once it's locked it you can control the aperture through the camera like normal.

Yes you can adjust the aperture. F/2.8 is the max you can go and it can be constant as you zoom in and out. but you can lower it to say F/8 etc.

Yes as long as its a manual lens, u will need to lock the pin in with something to have aperture control
