An ƒ-number indicates the relative aperture of the lens and lets us determine how much light it lets through. But why does the number get bigger when the amount of light decreases? The answer is in the way it is written, ƒ/2.0, ƒ/8.0. etc. That means the focal length of the lens (ƒ) divide by 2 or 8. So a 100mm lens at ƒ/2 has a 50mm physical [...]
