In 50+ years I have never seen Aperture Number as you have described and has been explained elsewhere so I don't think I've missed anything

Oh few! I thought I might have missed something fundamental.

Depending perhaps on which part of the world you come from the talk of F numbers etc may have misguided you into transposing an "f" for a "ph"

Pardon? I'm English BTW.

In which case you missed the point I was trying to make thatI think you meant to write "Oh phew!" and not "Oh few!", the words being a homophonic and having very different meanings.  At least in the part of England I come from
