Title: Smaller aperture increments
Post by: guilhermemartins on October 02, 2013, 08:09:28 PM
Is it possible to change the aperture increments on canon lenses to smaller (than 1/3) increments?
I Don't know if this is a silly question (didin't see anyone else asking) but it would be really helpful.

You can de-click a lens (the manual ones anyway). But that would mean physically taking apart and operating if it's that important to you.

Most of the time it's used for smooth transition between stops so you could have any (in between stop) setting you want.

Example:

Expo override should help a bit.

Way to go! I use these already works fantastically with Nikkor lenses!
