Brucey thought he was kidding <grin>. 1. How big is an f-stop 2. How fast does your shutter open and close when set to 125. 3. What f-stop do you have to use to have everything from 8 feet to infinity sharp in your photography. 4. What f-stop do you need to get proper exposure with a #5 clear flash bulb at 7 feet. 5. How accurate is the Sunny-16 rule for exposure.
