I find myself in the Midwest, snowed & iced in. I normally shoot landscape, but my wife suggested I try some "Full Moon" shots, with & without foreground. The full moon is November 17th so I am scouting areas and selecting equipment. I will be using the 5DIII with the Canon 200 f1.8 (plus 1.4X & 2X) or the Canon 400 f5.6. Having never used the 400 f5.6 can I expect image quality in the 200 f1.8 + 2X range, or better?? Option two is to use the Canon 7D with one, or both lens setups. For moon shots would this be of any advantage due to increased focal length?? Thank you so much for any input you are willing to share. God Bless, Jim...Show more →
Longer is better 400/5.6 should be fine, you need smallest aperture anyway. My sweet apperture is F11 for moon shots. You would need tripod, shutter release cable and use of spot metering. I do handheld shots too, most of them are OK but with tripod and live view you could make it perfectly focused. I would suggest to use M (manual) camera mode and spot metering only, otherwise camera would produce some weird exposures. Take lots of shots with different exposure settings and ISO, not all will be good anyway Post processing with right sharpening is important, contrast and levels are important too.
Some very old shot I did with 40D and don't remember which lens , not perfect but I like it.
