[QUOTE="nickt, post: 194987, member: 4923"] You may be right. I assumed it was fixed aperture, but I just looked up the lens, it looks like the lens can be stopped down from f8, the maximum. That would make it even darker. So that info to adjust the diaphragm should be in the lens documentation. From a description I found: "The [B]Bower 500mm f/8 Manual Focus Lens[/B] is a classic refractor-style T-mount lens, with an aperture diaphragm in the middle of the lens body to stop down the aperture when necessary. However, it is assumed that much of the shooting with such a lens will be at its maximum f/8.0 aperture, with a tripod, monopod, or other such support." [/QUOTE]
