[QUOTE="nickt, post: 307989, member: 4923"] Yes, what Hark said. I don't know your lens, but my old 50mm has a lock to lock it at f22. It does not actually shoot up there, the camera controls the aperture or you can control it from the camera settings. The camera just needs to know that ring is out of the way. You would not be able to see very much if the lens were actually stopped down to f22. You focus and meter with the lens wide open and the camera stops it down when you click the shutter. The aperture ring is a physical stop-limit. If you set it at f8, the camera would not be able to ever bring it any smaller than f8. So setting it for the smallest aperture gives full control.
