[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 657648, member: 16749"] I hadn't thought of this, but I'd bet that this is exactly [USER=44581]@litakelley[/USER]'s problem—that she's trying to set the aperture on the camera. With CPU lenses, if there's an aperture ring, the correct process is to set that to the smallest aperture, and let the camera control the aperture. The G series CPU lenses don't even have an aperture ring. But with non-CPU lenses, the camera doesn't control the aperture—you use the aperture ring on the lens to set the aperture. If [USER=44581]@litakelley[/USER] is setting the aperture ring to its minimum setting, and expecting the camera to control it, then that would exactly explain her problem. [/QUOTE]
