Please, stop repeating russian propaganda. They wanted to control and reconquer their former imperial colonies. Their claimed Casus Belli were just lame excuses, not actual reasons.
> And I know I'm a bit out there, but perhaps the people in the disputed territories should get a vote?
You mean just like the vote in Crimea in 2014 right? With a gun pointed at their backs under the supervision of the military?.
There’s no way that, any vote like that is in anyway shape or form fair and will result in any outcome other than what the people pointing the guns want.
God forbid we react to the utterly inhumane invasion of Ukraine with the disgust it deserves. Stop trying to make cover for Putin behind a veil of insincere civility.
I don't have it from russians, I'm not pro-russia, far from it. But those concerns that US (maybe) wants war on european continent were pretty often repeated in all EU media then.
In practice, light gathering correlates to F-stop quite well on most normal modern lenses, transmission losses are very low. The main exceptions are deliberately apodized lenses, which have considerably transmission losses wide open.
For the rest - yeah, f# is just one of important specifications.
He took 3 photos with different colour filters in succession and captured them on large glass plates.

It will go from comedy to tragedy, as somebody will eventually get arrested and even convicted based on high quality picture of their face upscaled from 16x16 noisy mess of pixels.
