Abstract
An aperture selection mechanism for camera lens includes an aperture strip and a disk selection knob. The aperture strip has two or more different sizes of apertures equally spaced from each other and being sequenced by size. Turning the selection knob, the aperture strip will be moved and one of the apertures will be positioned in the light path of the camera lens. Two or more apertures may be moved to the light path of camera lens one at a time so that the camera can produce better quality of photo and image. The structure is simple, low cost and easy to use.
