So, the aperture ring is there and it is nice to have if you come to a time when aperture must be set manually. However, as pointed out, leaving it in A is best. This way, you can use the camera dial to set aperture. Even if you use Manual mode on the camera, leave the lens aperture ring in the A setting. Aperture ring on lens aint often used :^|
Thank you, I was wondering what it was for. I must have moved it while experimenting and forgotten to return it to its place. Again, thank you for the help.
