what are the four aperture settings, wide open, close down and what? only 4 aperture setting possible?

It's continuously variable, you'll have to estimate what f stop you're at... unless your lens has an aperture ring, in which case you just use that. It works well.

Its infinitely variable as far as I can tell. Its like twisting a knob. I don't use this very often, only on one particular lens. I almost forgot about it. Thanks for reminding. No issues with this at all. Just guesstimate only for aperatures.

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 amount of light gets in depends on the speed of the lens (f-stop) and the time of the exposure. Sometimes having your aperture wide open (f 1.2-2.8) will not suit your purposes because you only get a narrow depth of field. And sometimes a slow shutter won't work for you went you have a moving subject. In that case, mounting a flash will be a big help! When the sun/lighting is behind the subject (backlit), I like a flash to fill in my subject.

I'd always prefer a more extreme wide angle... So the 24mm is my favourite. The f/1.4 aperture is all the more glorious when the angle is wider.

Yes, all lenses have an adjustable aperture. This lens is the Cannon 28mm f1.8. F1.8 is the widest aperture and the smallest is f22. F1.8 is great for lowlight or night photography. This is a good lens for the money.

Smaller aperture (f36) provides more depth-of-field, but using the same ISO requires a longer exposure time. Large aperture (smaller number) allows more light, but using the same ISO requires a shorter exposure time. The f-stop numbers given are the largest apertures available on the lens. The first number is the largest aperture at 18mm, and the second number is the largest aperture at 55mm. Collin Riley's response regarding the available apertures at 18mm, and 55mm is spot-on.

I do not own this lens anymore do to the fact that I started shooting indoor events. I loved the lens but with a 4 aperture it doesn't take in enough light. I would recommend the 2.8 version of this lens or a prime lens for your needs. You will be able to keep your shutter speeds up and ISP down.

Option 1:You have to switch your camera into manual mode. You then set the aperture manually and remove the lens before turning off the camera. Option 2: purchase an aftermarket aperture ring that closes the aperture down.

I just got this lens and cannot figure out how to adjust the aperture... I can only take photos in f/22 otherwise it tells me to "lock lens aperture ring at minimum aperture" even if I put it in M (manual) mode. How do I change it so the aperture is adjustable and not fixed?

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

Aperture is a ratio of the diameter of the opening to the focal length being used. On this and most zooms the diameter of the opening does not change when you change the focal length; hence the aperture slows. In the large, heavy zooms that are "2.8" throughout the zoom range, the diameter increases to maintain the light-gathering ability. And that costs money.

The aperture numbers wont align, this lens has a fixed aperture of F/8 the arrows moving right/left are to allow greater clarity (by opening the lens) for focusing

2.8 is the maximum aperture at minimum zoom. I no longer own thing lens. But I believe it goes to f22. It is either 16 or 22.

It can be set in manual mode or by using shutter preferred setting which allows aperture to be set with auto shutter

Experiment with different shutter speeds and open up the aperture. The more light you shoot in the better it will be.

Hi,there isn't a physical aperture setting on the lens,but I shoot with a Canon T3i and adjust it with the camera's aperture wheel. f/3.5-22...

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

It's the lens. If you shoot wide open you get a beautiful effect in the out of focus areas. You just have to be careful to focus carefully on what you want in focus. The depth of field at f1.2 or f1.4 is very shallow.
