Can someone please help educate this noob trying to understand the the highlighted specs of this lens?
My first thoughts were "how can the lens have f/22 aperture yet the aperture range be only between f/4.0 and f/5.8?"
Does it in fact mean that the maximum apertures lie between f/4.0 and f/5.8 depending on the amount of zoom applied, and that regardless the minimum aperture accessible at all levels of zoom is f/22?
If the latter is correct, how do you know what the minimum aperture is when just looking at what's printed on a lens (as opposed to having to find and download a copy of the manual to check the specs)?
