photography A measure of aperture size, hence of light-gathering capacity. Unlike the more familiar f number, US number is inversely proportional to area rather than to diameter. The scale starts with 1 equalling f4 (technically f/4), then proceeds with whole numbers for the familiar British f values. See also film speed.
