    QUICK ANSWER

    f1.0  f1.4  f2.0  f2.8  f4  f5.6  f8  f11  f16  f22  f32  f45

    Every stop lets in half as much light as the number goes up. E.g. f1.4 will let in half as much light as f1.  A camera lens that opens to f4 will need four times the amount of light as a camera lens that opens to f2 and
