[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 71581, member: 10447"] Hi all, my first post, hope I am in the right place. I recently purchased a D3100 with the twin lens kit, I also have an older 55mm AF micro Nikkor It is this one here---- [url=http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/55af.htm]Nikon 55mm f2.8 AF Review[/url] I tried this lens on my camera for the first time today, but I am having some problems. Should I be trying to adjust the aperture with the manual ring on the lens, or should I set it on the smallest aperture, which is f32 on the ring, and adjust it using the camera ? If I do change the ring on the lens to anything other than f32, i get a message on the display saying that the aperture is wide open. I took a couple of photos to see if it was working, with the camera on aperture priority , I seem to be getting a very shallow depth of field at all aperture settings. I am just not sure if its working. Any help here is much appreciated. I am wanting to use this lens to take photos of smallish objects for a website, and I want to have all of the object in focus.
