Default In-camera aperture vs. In-lens apertu What's the difference?

If my lens is only
rated for 3.4-5.6 aperture, then will it do me any good to set my
camera aperture to say f/11 or f/22 or is that just going to use the
minimum aperture the lens will allow of f/5.6?


You can do that, but keep in mind that there's a point where your lens won't
be as sharp, so you might want to use the smaller apertures ONLY when you
have a definite purpose in mind.
