Yes, it’s a bit finicky if you want to try multiple f-stops, but no need for wedges.

Cheers,

There's a spring in the mechanism for the Sigma Nikon lenses, which makes the aperture always jump back to as small as possible when the lens isn't installed. The same is true for Nikon lenses, for that matter
