[QUOTE="Bukitimah, post: 40780, member: 7507"] I managed to figure it out. The aperture ring on the lens has to be fixed at F22 and the control will be from the camera setting. This aperture ring is for manual setting should I add an extension tube with no electrical contacts. Please tell me if I got this wrong. I will be trying out the lens tomorrow.
