• The aperture is the opening by which light enters your camera. When altered, it produces drastically different effects.

Why do lenses with smaller apertures cost more?

Hmm, it's been my experience that wider (smaller f stop) aperture lenses cost more due to the complex nature of the aperture mechanism. Glass is a major factor too; a higher quality glass is needed thus increasing price also.

This was a great video and tremendously useful. I learned a lot, specifically about f-stop settings. Look forward to seeing more!
