"lens openings"?

appreciate the video, but using that phrase for "aperture" is confusing. to me, at least. i also thought they were a little small, except that i don't own/can't afford a premium lens, so those stops are the ones i have to work with. thanks again.

Since when are f5.6, f6.3, f7.1 "large lens openings"?

"Fail" still isn't a noun.
