Some sights advertise same plane rear aperture meaning that both the large and small share the same zero if one or the other is flipped up. Ultimately, it’s all about keeping that detail sharp throughout and not just whether or not it’s in focus. Unless specified, expect that the large aperture and small aperture will have a different zero. Use your muzzle or front sight post as your reticle. At close quarters, Im not using any rear aperture at all. That being said, I almost never use the 0-2 sight, unless Im under low light conditions. This is why many macro and landscape photographers often resort to focus stacking – even if stopping down to f/22 or f/32 would give them the depth of field they need in a single shot. The 0-2 sight is for a low light and/or engagement ranges under 200m. It can be tough sometimes finding that balance between giving you enough depth of field and an acceptable level of sharpness. I mean, what other 800mm prime lens can be bought from a reputable brand for less than $1,000? The key to understanding this aperture is to understand the concepts of. The small aperture provides a much more precise sight picture, and should be used at all other times. The large aperture is easier to use quickly, is more appropriate for extreme close range, and is easier to use in low light conditions. Very simple The bigger the hole, the more light. Unless you're wearing a gas mask or shooting at night, use the small one. This is a precision aperture useful for daylight shooting and for precision both up close or out far. The aperture is the size of the hole in your lens that lets light into the camera. It is very different than the ghost ring. And having a fixed aperture also means less engineering and also helps to keep the costs down for the consumer. 070 diameter hole is a wonder of old school rifle technology. But with the potential diffraction issues, there’s really no reason for a lens that already has such a small aperture to really let you go any smaller. Having a maximum aperture of f/11 means they can make the lenses small (and inexpensive). small and large circular apertures Recall the Scale Theorem This is the Uncertainty Principle for diffraction. Here is an example with round numbers: F/2.8 is one stop over F/2 which is one stop over F/1.4. But as camera resolutions have increased to 36MP, 45MP and even higher resolutions, diffraction has become a lot more noticeable and a bigger problem for photographers.ĭiffraction potentially explains why Canon’s recently released Canon RF 600mm f/11 IS STM and Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM lenses have a fixed f/11 aperture. Aperture is measured as a ratio of focal-length to iris diameter and each stop lets twice as much light as the previous one, so yes a small numerical difference can make a big difference. It was still there and noticeable if you really pixel peeped, but you could still often get acceptable sharpness (although “acceptable” is subjective) at beyond f/11. When digital cameras were still in the 16-megapixel or lower resolution stage, diffraction wasn’t that big of an issue a lot of the time. You might have noticed that you get to a certain point with your lenses that when you keep stopping down, your images get softer again.
