Can I control the aperture on my camera(pentax)? The main picture of this lens looks like it has A mode.

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

For Pentax mount, the other folks that answered this question 'No' are giving incorrect information. The answer is YES. You absolutely can control the aperture with a Pentax Camera.

This lens is manual. the aperture is controlled by the ring that is in the lens and not the camera.

This is a fully mechanical lens. This aperture gear ring is on the lens, so you can only adjust your aperture on the lens.

Yes, suer there modes for that. A for aperture priority, S for shutter speed and M for everything manual.

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.

Same answer here... all 3 of my lens from my ME Super work. Pentax will tell you exactly which lens function and their level of funtionality.

My Sony A77 controls aperture with one of the control wheels on the body itself. Made for a digital world :-)

Yes. I have that exact lens and can control the aperture with the kit aperture control ring.

Yes, there's a manual exposure mode and the lens has a switch to turn auto-focus on or off.

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 :)

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.

Yes,when the camera is set to aperture priority, the camera will set the appropriate shutter speed for the correct exposure. This is how it works on my K20 Pentax Digital And for the one I use On my Nikon D800 Digital camera. Regards Dennis Dellis

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

You can control auto-focus. Portrait mode defocuses the background, which you can avoid by shooting in another mode.

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.

by chip do you mean autofocus, or being able to control the aperture from the camera? If so, it does not, you have an aperture ring and everything is done manually on the lens.
2063669
Yes. You can shoot in 'pro focus' mode, or do it the real way by shooting with a wide aperture setting of 2.8. Since this camera has real aperture blades, you can set it in aperture prioirity mode and set it to the smallest possible number.

It's actually controlled well. At it's widest aperture you'll see it. This is a known issue, like on the Zeiss. But it's something that can be fixed in Adobe. The lens is a good deal and worth it.

The lens has an adjustable ring for manual aperture operation. However you don't need to use it as your camera has a wheel on the front to adjust the aperture setting. On the lens you will see a red tab to lock it at f/22, do that and leave it there and use your camera's wheel to make any f-stop adjustments. The D lens has this feature for manual setting control, if you want to use this setting then turn you camera to M for manual and then adjust the lens Aperture by hand by turning the ring. Hope this helps?
