F-Stop Chart & Interactive Aperture Calculator: f/0.95 to f/32

Why is the jump from f/5.6 to f/8 a full stop, but f/1.4 to f/1.8 is only two-thirds? The math behind lens apertures is famously counterintuitive, but mastering it is the key to perfect exposure. We’ve built a custom, mobile-friendly F-Stop Calculator to help you instantly solve for ND filter offsets (including Big and Super Stoppers) and compare increments across the entire range — from f/0.95 "Noct" glass to f/32. Use this interactive tool and charts to take the guesswork out of your next shoot.
