What aperture is wide open?

f/2.8
So, when considering a wide aperture, we are referring to apertures that open as wide as f/1.2 – f/2.8. Photographers might also refer to choosing a wider aperture as ‘opening up’ the lens.

Which aperture setting has the largest opening?

The specifications for a given lens typically include the maximum and minimum aperture sizes, for example, f/0.95–f/22. In this case, f/0.95 is currently the maximum aperture (the widest opening on a full-frame format for practical use), and f/22 is the minimum aperture (the smallest opening).

What happens when the aperture is wide open?

Focus. The most obvious problem you run into when shooting with a wide open aperture is focus. When your aperture is open really wide, the focal plane is near razor thin which makes properly focusing next to impossible.
