So decrease f, to get the same α you need to keep (d / 2f) constant, so d decreases. Calculate f number like: N = f/D, where f is focal length and D aperture diameter. So double f and 22 the area of glass needed. But f isn’t doubled on the tele, as the sensor is smaller so doesn’t need to double to half the FOV (2x zoom) - see the above point about α.
