[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 317136, member: 9240"] I have a lens with an 82mm front element and the biggest aperture is f/5.6 and it has trouble focusing on some cameras in dark situations. It's not about the front element, it's all about the amount of light loss between the front and back elements with the aperture wide open. Bigger elements can help retain light, but it's only part of the equation. F/1.8 = F/1.8, regardless of the front element size. [/QUOTE]
