My first camera was a Canon AT-1. My sister was dating a professional photographer and he insisted my first camera should be a manual focus with built-in metering that required me to adjust the shutter and aperture. He believed auto cameras were fine but I should learn the basics first to understand what the camera was doing. He also believed glass was important and delivered it with a Canon 50mm 1.4. I still own it.

Sorry. My brain read 17-55 and thought 17-35. Wow.

Is the 17-55 f2.8 the DX model or full frame model? Thank you in advance for your response.

I have been using a Nikon 12-24. However, after looking at what I choosing most of the time in my landscape pictures I found most of the shots were at the upper end. I believe I will be selling the 12-24 and buying a Nikon 16-35 f4. Just a personal anecdotal story. Good luck.

Being a senior myself my advice is it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. At this point in my life if I want it, if I can afford it and it gives me pleasure I buy it. That's my 2 cents

He's not using the sub-command dial to change the aperture, he's using the aperture ring. The video is simply showing how to set up a Nikon DSLR that meters with MF lenses to be able to use a MF lens and get EXIF info.... Nothing to do with changing the aperture via the sub-command dial
Looking at the video a second time I do believe you are correct. I must be recalling things incorrectly. Turning the aperture ring is not any more difficult so it really is not an issue. Thank you.

I found this. But, for some reason it doesn't work for me.

None of the Nikon DSLR can change the aperture of a non CPU lens with the sub command dial. I think the OP remember not correctly.
I must admit that l only used the lens a few times on the D7000, but I am somewhat sure that setting the aperture at the highest number allowed the dial to change the aperture. However, I wouldn’t bet my life on it. The idea of locking the aperture in place sounds familiar. I will check it out.

I now own a Nikon D7200 purchased after I wore out my D7000. I also own a Micro-Nikor 105mm 1:2.8 #1455 Non CPU lens. When mounted on the D7000 I was able to change aperture in M and A mode using the sub-dial and without having to turn the aperture ring. I entered the lens data on the D7200 in the non cpu setup menu.
The issue is that for some reason the sub-dial does not change the aperture. I haven't use the lens for a few months and know I am forgetting something. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.

A test drive is a different experience in Northern New Hampshire. I was told to tale a pickup truck 35 miles to my home for a day or two and let them know what I thought. Interesting.

Thanks to everyone for the information. This move away from Apple is not going to be as easy as I hoped. I should have moved away from Apple sooner. I have kept many of the photos on the original SD cards anticipating some of this. Time to move on.

I bet Adobe support could give you all the information you need.
I will call if I have to, but I was hoping to get information from someone who has already done the same thing. For clarification, the photo's are now in iPhoto and Apple Aperture programs. I made a mistake and typed Apple Elements in the initial post.

"before looking for a new Adobe photo processing program"..... Like what? You may want to skip this step if it is temporary.
My assumption was if I create a Library in Elements I could eventually attempt Lightroom. Since both are Adobe my thought is they are compatible. However, I could be wrong.

I would appreciate help with finding a link to help me move my iPhoto and Apple Elements library to Adobe Elements Organizer. I have an older version - Elements 14 - and before looking for a new Adobe photo processing program I want to move everything. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time, effort and expertise.
