The Fraction line gives a series of F/Nos. each requiring double the exposure of the preceding one. This series is F/2 -2, 3 16, 4.5, 6 3. The decimal line gives a similar series, beginning with f/2, viz., F/2, 2 7, 4, 5 6, 8. The last line gives the relative Speed of any lens, in comparison with another lens of different aperture.

This series is: — F/Number 3 16 4 5 6 3 9 12 5 18 25 3 36 Note. — Most lenses are now marked with the F/numbers. according to one or other of the above two series, although the U.S. numbers are used on Kodak lenses. Also the actual diameter of the diaphragm aperture in millimetres is marked on some Continental lenses.
