Just take the square root of 2 (approximately 1.4) and keep multiplying it by
itself.

1 1.4 2 2.8 4 5.6 8 11 16 22 31 44 63 89 125 177
250 354 501 709
but why ?
YMMV

as you can see from Andrews post there are different ways of determining it
and it will vary the number but you will need a big lens for any of the
larger values as the hole size is very small on even a 50mm lens

The square root of 2 to the power of n, where n => 0

Well i dont exactly need to put such a small stop on the lens, it's just to
work out some hi-speed cinematography and relative light levels at 2,000
fps.
thanks

Are you looking for values at 1/2 stop or 1/3 stop intervals?

i've got one of those lightmeter scales for my pentax spotmeter. It was
specially adapted for the meter. You can read the values straight off.
And the meter was used for that exact purpose.

full stop

thanks for the relpies, i actually forgot about the square-root-of-2 method
since film school and this will fulfill my needs very well.
