I try to make a point of reminding new shooters that the f/stop is a fraction - as most new photographers see f/1.2 and f/16 and think that f/16 is bigger. I've already upped this from your last change, but think it would be worthwhile to remind OP about this. | |

Corrected some terms.

Incorporated comment about diffraction limiting

| Jun 5, 2019 at 12:26 | comment | added | Philip Kendall♦ | "f/22 will give you a much sharper overall picture than f/4" is not necessarily true. Below about f/11 or so on an APS-C sensor you will start getting diffraction limited - a 50mm f/1.8 will be sharper at f/4 than f/22. | |
