Help me out bros, if a lens says it's 15mm f/1.8, that means I'm stuck at 15mm, but I can change my aperture to whatever? And it's widest is 1.8, but I can go higher than that? Or am I stuck at f/1.8 as well?

Some very odd lenses have apertures you physically swap out, but most of the time yes, you can 'stop down' or make the aperture opening smaller. Commonly f/16 or f/22.

So my focal length, 15mm, is fixed, but aperture isn't?

Yeah you got what we call a "zoom" lens since you have to zoom around on your feet to get closer/farther away from your subject. "Prime" lenses on the other hand have variable focal lengths. They are called prime because of their high quality and ability to offer many camera lens lengths in one package.

Unless you're buying your shit off wish.com the spec says the widest aperture and usually they go to at least ƒ16, usually ƒ22 is standard but they may go as high as ƒ32 :O
