Why can't I access a full range of aperature numbers?

I can't get an aperture lower than 4.5 in manual mode (or any mode.) As soon as I bought the d300 (body only ) I added a sigma 10-20 wide angle lens. Does this have anything to do with the problem?

Lisa,

Depending on your lens capabilities, the aperture will only max out at the lens' max aperture. Check the specifications of your specific lens for a better idea. From what I can tell (if this is your lens), the max aperture at the wides lens angle is f/4. I hopt this helps.
