F5.6

F5.6
That’s my favorite number,
I think about it every day,
And even when I slumber.

Some days the sun is out
and it’s very bright,
f16 is the right number,
Won’t let in too much light.

Other days are cloudy,
And really awfully dim,
That’s when I choose F2,
To let that light come in.

I always take all my numbers,
Where e’r I may roam.
Unfortunately, I found,
I left my film at home.

Nutz! 🙄

Ha! That's funny!
I rarely go up to f/16 - diffraction effects cut into performance.
I love f/4 a lot too - usually lenses peak in performance around f/4 to f/8.

beautiful! 🙂

and 5.6 is indeed the best aperture, isn't it?

nice poem

with me it's f4.0 or f5.6 . . . . (it's a mood thing mostly)

I get my kicks
at f/5.6
But f/6.3
is best for me
I hesitate
to try f/8
cause f/6/3
is best for me
