Stupid question I assumed I knew the answer to

[leaky5]

Is f4.5 to 5.6 one stop or if f4.5 to f6.3 one stop ?

f/4.5 to f/6.3 is one stop.

f/4 to f/5.6 is one stop.

EDIT: 16 people looked at this without replying. Wonder what that tells us?

Multiply a stop by 1.4 (OK, the square root of 2 but 1.4 is close enough!) and the result is the next full stop smaller.
