My understanding is that they collect the same amount of light (the aperture is the relationship between the focal length and the lens opening, which means, no matter what lens you use, the same amount of light is reaching the sensor for a given aperture), however, the longer focal length image will have superior resolution.

Want more light? Need more exposure.
