What if a camera lens has a high f number?
The f on a camera lens is the maximum aperture of the lens. It is sometimes listed as 1:X with X being the maximum aperture. For example:- Canon EF 50mm f1.4 is a 50mm prime lens with a maximum aperture of 1.4- Tamron 90mm f2.8 is a 90mm prime lens with a maximum aperture of 2.8- Canon 70-200mm f/4 is a lens with a focal length of 70-200mm and a maximum aperture of 4.
What aperture would a camera lens with a maximum aperture of f2 would perform best at?
It depends on what you're taking a picture of. A wide aperture (F2) lets in more light and so is better in low light conditions, or when you have to use a fast shutter speed (eg. taking an 'action' shot). A narrow aperture (F11) gives you a greater field depth, ie objects near to you and far away will be in sharper focus. This is useful when you're taking photos of landscape/scenery.
What determines the shallowest depth in field in photography?
The largest aperture which is the smallest number on the aperture ring/dial generally anything between f1.2 - f5.6 dependant on the lens and zoom. On most consumer digital cameras the more you zoom in the higher the smallest aperture becomes. eg. Lens at 35mm, widest aperture (shallowest depth of field) generally about f2.8 Zoom in and the largest aperture will reduce to about f5.6
