5.6 is the largest I can get with my D3000 and the focal length was 55mm. I didn't even think to make the shutter speed faster 
Is the aperture dependent on the camera or lens? |
The aperture is dependent on the lens. When you look at lens like 4.2-5.6 that means that depending on the focal length the largest aperture you can get is 4.2-5.6. For you next lens purchase look for something that is prime, i.e. 1.4 or 2.8 (no dashes) like the 50 1.8 or 50 1.4 great lens!
