    geeky aperture question

    I saw an example of a photo taken with a 6" focal length bi-convex lens lens with a
    3/4" aperture which I'd like to replicate but I only have a 250mm (10") focal length bi convex available to use. Is there a way to extrapolate the size of the aperture I'd need to fabricate in order to obtain the same look as what was done with the 6" focal length lens? I keep coming up with 1-1/4" aperture but I'm lousy at this stuff!
