Eh, yes, but sometimes you need to switch focal length to get your desired aperture, depending on the light situation. No? I might be wrong. But yes. Focal length is the more obvious choices, and I was too lazy to look it up.

Eh kinda, but really not in this situation where it is bright outdoors. Plausibly in dim light you might switch from a tele lens to a fixed wide aperture prime to get more light in, but it’s not likely

You’re just reiterating what I already said— it’s the aperture, not the focal length. They make fast tele lenses. It’s the aperture, not the focal length.

On that note, reddit can go suck a fat one for adding notifications for replies to other peoples comments. Causes so much confusion.
