Some time ago I was at a flea market with my wife and son. My son was a recent college graduate with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I bought him a Mechanical Engineering Handbook that was dated 1941. I kidded him that when he took it to work he would be an instant old timer. My wife questioned the value of a 55 year old book. My son and I quickly explained that the laws of physics don't change.

Seems like a lot of folks are not aware of that fact.

The size of the aperture is the focal length divided by the expected f number, ie: 400/2.8 etc......

Physics says there will most likely not be a 400mm f/2.8 with a diameter of 50mm or less.
