[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 67597, member: 9237"] I know my stops. I've got a 1.8, a 2, a 3.5, a 4,.....:rolleyes: I just basically estimate based on the amount of noise at my chosen ISO, my lenses sharpest aperture and what my focal length is and how that affects my light intake. Er, the LENS's light intake. You don't need a "cheat sheet". This is the sort of thing that degrades the actual art of photography and makes it more of a memorization and numbers game instead. It also makes it sound as if you haven't shot enough to know what aperture really controls. Part of the art IS "mistakes" like that. And I wouldn't even call them that honestly. How can you chose a correct aperture? What IS the correct aperture for your particular scene with your particular lens with the particular available light? Nobody knows. No offense intended, of course. [/QUOTE]
