If the camera does not support aperture changes in the body, you cannot manually change the aperture on the lens. If the body supports Tv, then you can use the lens on the A setting. You should also be able to use lenses without aperture rings on bodies that have Tv. If the body does not have Tv or some sort of aperture control, then the lens cannot be used without adjusting the aperture ring. > > Are such lenses even usable on older bodies like the MX? The MX is manual only. Lenses set on A and lenses without aperture rings can only be used wide open. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com -- "You have to hold the button down" -Arnold Newman
