Thirty or forty years back, my dad bought his first 35mm Nikon and some lenses... which I kept all these years. They still look like new.
I am currently experimenting with No. 486439 : 28mm f2.8 to_f22
Its also my first time in manual mode, so I am a bit blind ; but its a great learning experience.
Quick question which is currenetly frustrating me (I am putting down the camera now to pick up the guitar!).
For manual lenses: Is it simply done on the lens itself? There is no visual indication of aperature on the screen.
For AF/VR lenses : How do you change aperature!! I can of course easily set shutter speed with the mode dial, but I could have sworn I read once about needing to press the XXXX button to change aperature, but I cannot find that reference anymore. I know how I can go to Aperature, and change it there, and then go back to Manual. Is that how its done??
