With camera lenses the aperture can be varied with a constant FL.
So a 'wide open' a lens is operating at its maximim aperture. Not surprisingly it gives its brightest image at this point....hence the amount of flux coming down the pipe, so to speak, is soley (give or take) determined by the aperture. Does that help?
