Re: aperature number vs f number

i suspect that the apertue number would have made more sense if it was standard as the bigger the number seems to have more light as oppose to the denomintor of a fraction. And I suspect someone uses it just like some people use Kelvin and people used to use and maybe in the USA still use the Rankine scale.

Trivia question did white balance use the Rankine scale first then switch?
