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. Use "A" on the mode dial.

What is your camera? Aperture is set automatically by the camera, or manually by you via the camera, depending on which camera you have.

You need to eather use objectives with aperture ring or get an adaptor with a lever to control objective aperture. I like well builded, all metal, aperture ringed objectives, they feel great and give you full control, focusing, deph of field, exposure :)

If the lens is a Nikon G and has electronic aperture then yes, you will be able to control it. That is what the silver ring is pictures above. However, it is very touchy and no one but metabones currently makes a professional quality adapter. And Metbones adaptors are north of $125. This adaptor also allows for some significant play when the lens is attached and the adaptor is attached to the 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.

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 52 mm reversing ring fits any lens with a 52 mm filter thread on the front. The bayonet mount on the ring fits any Nikon F-mount camera body (DX or FX DSLR and film SLR cameras). The Nikon 'g' lenses don't have an aperture control ring for manual setting. This means you would be limited to the smallest aperture (largest f-stop number) when the lens is reversed. It is very difficult to compose and focus when the aperture is stopped down and you can barely see through it. Better to use a lens with aperture control ring.

Nikon makes several 50mm f/1.4 lenses. The f/1.4 D and the plain (old) f/1.4 lenses both have working aperture rings on them and they will work with the reverse ring. Just understand that everything is manual - you will have to manually set the aperture and shutter speed for your exposure. The 50mm f/1.4g lens has no aperture ring and if I am correct, it will work, however, you will have to make all your shots at the smallest aperture setting and then you only have control of the shutter speed. Hope this helps.

I haven't gotten mine yet, but I ordered it. I think I read that the silver ring on the front of the lense is how you adjust the focus...give it a try! If it doesn't work, contact the seller or something.

the aperture setting would have to be electronic and done with your setting on camera controls. There is not a manual setting ring on the lens. On my sony A700 I can get f3.5 to f22 by using a manual setting.

Yes,it does. The Rebel 2000 calls this setting "Av" mode, which stands for manually setting the "aperture value." This setting controls the size of the lens opening that lets light in to fall on the film -- a larger aperture lets in more light, and vice versa. The older term for the same thing is "f-stop," since the size of the aperture is measured as a fraction (hence the "f") of the length of the lens. An f-stop (or Aperture Value) setting of 2 means the aperture is 1/2 the length of the lens (a relatively large aperture), and an 8 is 1/8th the length. Hope that helps.

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.

You can manually adjust the aperture or allow the camera to set the f stop. As far as auto focus the lens does have a motor

Hi. I purchased the same lens 2 days ago and yes, I am a novice using a D300. I have the same 'err' reading but when i switch and locked to f/22 i realised that the camera body electronically controls the aperture setting - which you can obviously set in 'A' mode. I assumed that the manual a f adjustment ring on the lens then was only for cameras that do no have electronically controlled A settings via the body.

the "G" lenses don't have an aperture ring . f stop is selected with thumbwheel on camera

Yes you can. I think you cannot adjust aperture on G lenses with this model.

I have the gf3 and mine will say that if I have it on autofocus. Put the focus in manual and click away after getting the focus, shutter, iso etc how you want for your photo. Fun lil lens. Ive gotten some great shots with this.

None of my lenses have an aperture ring; aperture and aperture priority is controlled by the camera body. I own the 5300, not the D5100, but aperture priority is a pretty basic function, so I am sure the function exists in that camera body.
