Ok, so I did a quick search and couldn't find the answer I was looking for so here goes:
If there are two lenses with identical focal lengths, both set at the same f-stop and sensor ISO, but one has a larger front element, will that lens allow faster shutter speeds?
I am familiar with the fact that binoculars and rifle scopes with larger objective lenses produce brighter images in low light conditions, but I'm not sure how this translates when f-stop is introduced.
What I am interested in is faster shutter speeds without changing ISO or focal length, and maintaining DOF.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks
