[QUOTE="panthers65, post: 215008, member: 17640"] Awesome information, Thank you very much for it. I'm a physics/number guy, breaking it down like that makes it much easier to understand.

The f/1.8, f/2.8, f/4, ect... numbers on the lenses is referencing the Aperture, correct? If so, how does this number on the lens affect the pictures (and by how I'm reading your replay, lower=better) affect the picture quality itself?
