[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 396187, member: 24753"] If the faster lens is set at the same aperture, yes, the exposure will be the same. The term faster lens just means the lens has a larger maximum aperture, but any two lenses set at the same aperture will allow the same amount of light to pass. Edited to add: Clarifying, the aperture itself will be a different size depending on focal length. That's where f/stops come into play. The same f/stop on any lens will produce the same amount of light hitting the sensor at the same interval of shutter open. [/QUOTE]
