"22-67x100" indicates the aperture is 100mm, right? (did not see it mentioned)

That is correct the aperture is 100mm. The first set of numbers [22-67x] indicates the magnification capability of the optic. On the other hand the second [100] indicates the aperture if I'm not mistaken.

22-67 is the zoom level and 100 is the size of the objective lens meaning how much light it will let in. The larger the number the more light will be let in.

Have you measured the lens? Usually the lens are standard sizes so the 67mm could be a typo and you really have a 68mm.

Aperture is adjusted with the silver ring shown in the photo. No markings designating wide open or closed which is annoying, however it effectively 'de-clicks' your nikon lens which is handy.

No, this lens is like a basic zoom lens, where each value of the focal length corresponds to a certain value of aperture opening.

I'm not sure if I understand your concern of DOF issue with 1.8, but you can always change your aperture to 8~9 and it will show details of your back-ground. But If I were you I would take a 18-200mm instead. covering wide to fairly good zoom unless you are planning to do dark inside building pics. That's just my 2 cents.

Yes, it is. The focal length and aperture value cannot be mathematically separated, and must both be multiplied by 1.53.

without looking again, I cant say.. I kinda wish now that I had bought something else.,esp since they dc's the 100mm can e mail me if you like so I wont forget . teckserve@yahoo.com

To be sure, you have to look at the size of your lens (not the focal length) - on the side somewhere, it should say either 52mm or 55mm or 56mm - or hopefully you have some sort of filter on the end to protect the lens - polarizing or UV or ?? - it will say it on the outside ring of the lens.

Well, when I selected 700, I got the 28mm, because that is the size I was replacing. That is 700x28c, where the 'c' is inconsequential, as far as I know.

Hey Aaron, common mistake. What you need to do is set the actual aperture on the lens ring to 22 and the lock it on that value so that the little red line aligns with the 22. This happens because you are using an older non focusing lens on a newer body. Problem solved. Have fun, that is a fantastic lens.

Have used on 700 and 55, not 99 - there is vignetting at 11mm with two filters so you have to remove UV if you use a PL, but it's a good lens for the money.

I have the exact same question. Please do post your findings. I am confused too. Apparently 18-200 is supposed to have larger zoom but I want to make sure that the quality of 18-200 matches to 18-135 at the least upto 135 mm. If so i will go with 18-200 for sure.

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...

The biggest aperture for this is F3.5, which is not that big. But it does give some bokeh effect. Whether it meets your definition of shallow DoF depends on you I guess. U might want to hunt around the web for sample photos?

Correct. Those numbers relate to the lens' focal length, and the longer the lens is the greater the zoom.

YesYou set the aperture to 22 and then the camera sets the aperture automaticly. It works on my D600

On the Aperture Control/Enabler ring there is a threaded side that is 52mm.
