mountainlander said:Also, if my camera as an f27 setting, does that mean any lens I attach to the body will shoot at f27?

KizaHood said:I think not! If you attach some lens that has minimum aperture at f16, you won't be able to shoot at f27.
So, you have the camera with f setting on it's body? As I know, such setting may work properly only if the lens supports using of that particular feature.
For example, Nikon F-100 has f control on it's body. But if you attach for example Helios lens on F-100 body, the only way to set the aperture would be by operating aperture ring placed on the lens. If you set camera's f setting to f8 while aperture ring on Helios is set to f4, the camera will shoot at f4!
Similar thing is with autofocus - you may use the autofocus feature only if you have an AF lens attached!
