[QUOTE="LensWork, post: 50586, member: 1283"] Your lens is an f/3.5-5.6, that is at 18mm the maximum aperture is f/3.5 and at 55mm the maximum aperture is f/5.6. If the zoom setting is somewhere in-between 18 - 55, then the maximum aperture will be between f/3.5 - f/5.6. I suspect that at somewhere around 40mm, the maximum aperture would be f/5.0. Try making sure the zoom is set at 18mm then in "A" mode adjust the aperture and it should go to f/3.5. Now zoom the lens out to 55mm and you will see the aperture change from f/3.5 to 4.0 to 4.5 to 5.0 to 5.6 as you arrive at 55mm. [/QUOTE]
