120mm f/7

Id be eternally grateful if it could be worked out, and even more grateful if I could understand it afterwards.

Thanks
7^2/5.5^2=1.6198

So your calculations a few posts up were dead on

The reason I went more complicated with my previous post was to show WHY it’s the F/Ratio that determines photographic speed and not aperture. It can also prove that my 50mm F/1.4 is photographically 25x faster than the 120mm and 15.5x faster than the 100mm
