Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me how to drop the aperture setting to f2.8 or lower?

Hi, SAL100M28 100mm f2.8 macro I am trying for greater detail in macro shots

I've never used this lens, but it look to me like the widest it gets is f2.8, with a min of f32... If your camera is in Aperture Priority mode, you should be able to turn your wheel to adjust the aperture... Maybe I'm missing something?

Yep thats about it. In either A-priority or Manual mode just dial it to 2.8 if you want to allow the most light in and have the most shallow DOF.
