Are the exposure settings dependent on the camera body or the lens?

08 February 2020 - 08:37 PM

I'm using a Nikon D5300 body - I currently have an AF-S NIKKOR 18-140mm 3.5-5.6. I'm wanting to buy a Prime 50mm F/1.4 for better portraits and up close shots. 

 

It almost seems silly to ask but, will my LCD allow me to go to F/1.4 if I put the new Prime lens on? The reason I lack the context of what may be such a simple question is because this is the only camera body and only lens I've ever used.

 

Thanks!

 

Also, are there any other things that I should look out for when purchasing another lens for my camera body? So that I don't get something that I too late realize doesn't fit onto my camera body?
