so, which lens do we use for photographing the moon? 300mm? 200mm?
600mm? I've never shot the moon before.,....... <g>
Be seeing you.

To show up as more than a tiny spot, you need a really long lens. 600 is
probably the minimum if you really want a moon photo. The moon is a
sunlight object so f/16 at 1/ASA seconds is a good exposure. However the
moon usually looks brighter than it really is, so opening up one stop from
this works well.
This could also be a good opportunity to take photos by moonlight. This is
obviously a long exposure, but the quality of light is very different than
during the day.
