lens - How can I cancel aperture resetting between subsequent image shots of a timelapse?


When shooting timelapses, small deviations of aperture position between shots can cause an image to flicker. The most obvious way is buy a lens that doesn't reset aperture on every shot you take. What are those lenses labeled? Do they exist?



The second approach is to disconnect the lens a little, so that the aperture stays fixed. This introduces the problem of aperture resetting on lens disconnection. Also, when the lens is disconnected a little, the camera won't even take a picture. At least on a Nikon D3300 with DX VR AF-P Nikkor 18:55mm f/3.5-5.6G lens. Are there lenses that allow disconnection without resetting the aperture and also allow the camera to shoot with the slightly disconnected lens?


I am looking for a Nikon D3300 solution, but hey, feel free to comment about other manufactures as well.
