Hey guys I have a question I dont know if it is a stupid question but I figure I will ask and see if anyone understands what I mean.
If you have a lens and the lens is say 80 mm diameter versus the same lens that is a 40 mm diameter when you are at an aperture of say F2 will the 80 mm be letting in more light due to the lager diameter (assuming everything including the lens is the same the only difference is the lens diameter). I wondered this the other day and I wouldn't think it would but could not put an answer as to why it would not.
So there is my question anyone want to get scientific and answer that?
