Does this lens have a manual aperture adjustment?

Ben - I don't think this is part of the kit lens - it does have a switch for auto and manual focus, not aperture. If you have mounted it on a Nikon DX SLR camera back, you can switch the camera to manual mode or aperture priority mode and adjust the aperture with the dial on the back of the camera. I hope that helps!

Ben, I wouldn't buy this lens. I have had two and they both developed the same internal problems. Very poor manufacturing.

No it does not. You will need to set your camera to Aperture priority and then set the f/stop on the lens. Nor will it autofocus a lens. This is best used if you have an older fixed f/stop lens or are using a older macro lens.

This lens is only manual focus. No Auto anything - think of it as a lens on the end of a slinky.

No, but it is a good all utility lens, LOVE how it talks to the camera to correct the focus.

The camera has a manual program where you can set the values of aperture, ISO, and exposure so yes, I'd say you can. The larger the aperture, the greater blurr-out-effect you get on the objects out of focus. And yes, you can even choose the focus manually.

The issue isn't manual focus but manual aperture. With an "autoaperture" lens, no matter what the aperture setting the aperture actually stays wide open until the shot, letting the full amount of light into the body for focusing. With a manual aperture lens, when you set the aperture, the aperture goes to that setting - reducing the light entering the body and making the image on the view finder grainy. You can avoid this by focusing and then setting the aperture, or by relying on the wide depth of field of the lens and just estimating the focus distance with the dial on the lens.

No, you will have to manually set the aperture on the lens via the aperture ring.

No, it doesn't have the setting. And yes, you can get the effect with the ND filter and a tripod on manual mode.

Yes, this lens does have the option for auto focusing. But I clearly find that manual focusing is the better of the two choices. Unlike some lens, this option to change from manual to auto focusing is done by sliding the forward most ring, the one closest to the len's end back and forth. No switch. There is no automatic zoom option. You have to rotate the ring closest to the camera body to zoom in and out. I guess that is why I prefer the manual focusing. But either way, I am very happy with the photos I have taken with this lens. Hope this helps

Yes it does AF with your camera, great lens for the money, very sharp at f8 and f11, there is distortion, which can be corrected. Happy shooting.

Yes, you are able to switch between manual and auto focus on this lens by sliding the ring on the lens forward for auto focus or back for manual focus.

Yes, it is a manual lens but its not hard to use at all. You have to manually set the focus (easy enough) but you can still use the cameras internal meter to control exposure. Also, read your cameras owners manual. There are some neat tools available to make using this lens a little easier.

Yes, this is a totally manual lens. You will need to set your camera to manual. Being very wide angle the focus is very fir giving. I'm very impressed with how sharp it is.

No, There is no motor in the lens. It will manual focus only. Aperture will function normally

This lens is manual focus and manual aperture. So it won't AF or automatically adjust the aperture. It works in full manual mode very nicely but that may not be what you want to do.

Yes this lens is full auto focus, but there is no way to switch from auto to manual focus.

Only in manual mode. I really haven't had a lot of use for, or success with this lens.
