-  *  Once you know a good step size for one aperture, then you can calculate step sizes for other apertures because they'​re proportional to the f-number. ​ For example if you can use 80 steps at f/8, then use 160 steps for f/16 but only 56 steps at f/​5.6. ​ In this case the number of steps is just 10 times the f-number. ​ The multiplier will be different for other lenses and for different focal lengths with a zoom lens.+  *  Once you know a good step size for one aperture, then you can calculate step sizes for other apertures because they'​re proportional to the f-number. ​ For example if you can use a step size of 80 at f/8, then use step size 160 for f/16 but only step size 56 at f/​5.6. ​ In this case the step size is just 10 times the f-number. ​ The multiplier will be different for other lenses and for different focal lengths with a zoom lens.
