From Lenses: Aperture: The f-number says how wide the lens opens. Smaller numbers let in more light: f/1.8 lets in about ten times as much light as f/5.6, more than three stops. A wide aperture means faster shutter speeds in dim light and more background blur. Zooms with a constant aperture, like a 24-70mm f/2.8, keep the same exposure throughout the zoom range; cheaper zooms get darker as you zoom in.
