I am fairly new to photography, and even though I have read a good deal about the exposure triangle and I understand how it works, I continue to have problems. When I look through the viewfinder at the metering lines it does not help. In order to get it to the "Zero or close" I have to change the shutter, aperture or ISO thus changing what I wanted to achieve. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Does everybody use their exposure meter? Do you always get correct exposure by setting it to the zero? When I do finally get it to zero everything, including exposure is off. Thanks for any helpful suggestions. Oh, I reset my camera to the original settings just in case that was the problem to no avail.

Good morning Bob, Do you still have this lens? Does it have VR? Can you tell me if I buy it how do we exchange lens and cash? This is new to me. Oh, I have the Nikon D7500 so I assume this lens will work on it. Thanks, Peggy
