[QUOTE="mashburn, post: 93328, member: 11752"] I'm going to try to give a crack at this. my main lens is a 50MM f1.8 anyhow when I first played with this lens I had the exact problem. it was because I never used a DSLR before, nor that lens. this is how I fixed my lens. - look at your lens where all the F stops are listed. there is a slide that has a red dot on it, and beside it is a red line. - - now look at your "22" and make sure the white dot is above it. - -- if it is not then you will need to take the slide and move it up (where it is not aligned with the red line). - - -then twist the lens part with the F stop numbers and get it to where the white dot is above the "22" - - - then go to your red dot and slide it down, where the red dot and red line is connected. - then you will be able to use the thumb dial in the front and turn it. when you are looking through the "eye" you will see green numbers changing the F stop. - also make sure you are in "M" or "A" mode. F stop I believe cannot be used in any other mode. I have faith this will fix your problem. let us know if it does or not. side note: if you ever want to go manual with this stuff.....I would wait for a good while and just get used to it being used in automatic F stop.
