nope a "faster" lens does not mean more light. you want a bigger aperture (lower f-stop number) to let more light in, and this gives the very sought after professional blurry look (bokeh). the depth of field is less but that's the difference between a point and shoot, which tries to get as much of possible in focus, and more professional cameras where you have more manual control over the whole exposure.

A lens with a larger maximum aperture (that is, a smaller minimum f-number) is a fast lens because it delivers more light intensity (illuminance) to the focal plane, allowing a faster shutter speed.

So, yes a faster lens does mean more light. I think KennyT knows this.

Just dropped $1,000 on a custom computer built by clavinZero! (Just tower.)
i7 quad core 950, triple Channel memory Asus motherboard with USB 3.0, 6gb ram (3x2gb)
I don't know shit about computers but clayvinzero does and he was excited whilst we were shopping on newegg.com so anyways I'll finally be able to edit photos and post pics on r3v.

I really like pet photos but them and children are hard to get stand still.

BMWerk I really like the one of you in the Ducks jacket.

Amen to that. I still need to get to those falls.

[izthistaken]

The U.P is pretty awesome, just be prepared to spend A LOT of time driving. lol

I wanna put a drive together up there sometime this summer. Theres some really good driving roads up there...

[izthistaken]

Are you talking about dirt roads? I just know of the main roads that we went that were, well straight and LOOOOOOOONG. The one road that goes up to Copper Harbor was pretty dope.

[dannyyisntt]

No dude, theres plenty of good roads that are paved. For instance up near Munising they've been working on paving a nice curvy stretch of road over the last few years that's got a great view of the lake. Just gotta know the areas ;)
