Hyperfocal distance

The other characteristics of an optical system, such as a lens, are the f-number and the focal length. The focal length is the distance over which the initially collimated light rays are brought to focus. The larger the focal length, the more distant objects can be seen sharply. You can check the thin lens equation or lens-maker equation calculators to study how to compute the focal length of a lens.

At Focal Point Opticians, we pride ourselves on carrying the very latest styles from some of the world’s most amazing independent eyewear designers. We travel all across the globe to find specialists in eyewear design and bring their creations back to you in San Francisco.

Aperture

Numerical aperture

For example, if we set the f-number to be 1.4 for a standard lens of a focal length f = 70 mm, then the aperture diameter is D = 50 mm. Using the aperture area calculator, we find that the aperture area is A = 1963.3 mm².

An aperture is a hole, or an opening, in an optical system through which the light enters. The larger the aperture, the more light can enter. At the same time, the light is less collimated. Smaller aperture results in more collimated light entering at the cost of lower intensity. If you want to learn about different ways of measuring light intensity, check the lumen calculator. The aperture diameter is just the diameter of the opening.

The retail eyewear landscape is dominated by large corporations offering generic eyewear solutions. At Focal Point Opticians we are proud to be fiercely independent. We support our local community and aim to provide a special and unique eyewear buying experience.

We encourage everyone to join with us and SHOP LOCAL right here in Berkeley. Celebrating our neighbors and their unique offerings is what living in a vibrant city is all about. Being active in our community for many years, we enjoy meeting new people and helping the local residents and visitors with all their eyecare needs.

In commercially produced lenses, we can usually set the f-number to some prescribed values like 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, ... . They correspond to decreasing the aperture diameter by a factor of √2. In turn, the aperture area decreases by a factor of 2.

Aperture area is the area associated with the light-collecting section of an optical system. Larger values correspond to more light entering, brighter images, and greater focal lengths, whereas smaller ones translate into darker images and shorter focal lengths.
