I disagree and especially on-line this should not be played down. Your IR filter I guess is not pure, almost none are. IR filters are not adequate protection for the magnified strength of the Sun through a telephoto lens thru an OVF.

Anyway, are you still seeing spots?

Of course not. In fact, I didn't suffer any ill-effects from the viewfinder. But, after using my computer for a little bit, I took a gander outside through my window and the bright clouds left colored spots on my eyes. All that raw UV radiation bouncing off of everything and hitting my eyes...

It was probably just refreshing the wounds the Sun left on your retinas when you took that shot.

Yeah, pretty good. The moon in a blue sky is always interesting to me. Hard to get right too!

Great thread!

Some alternative optics, not by manufacturer but by design, Canon 70-300 DO IS:

While you can see some features of the lighting equipment, it didn't work out as well as with the beautiful moon surfaces posted by you guys
Should have used fill flash.
Care to share your lighting technique as well ?

My humble contribution to keep this thread alive

Canon 70-200 f4 IS + Kenko 1.4x TC,
280mm @ f16, 1/10s, ISO100.
Sharpening applied, a bit over, I guessed

Guys, sorry can not show my personal moon shots, but would like to share - at the local selling board there is opportunity to buy huge lens from exUssr spy satellite (seller claims that this particular lens was in space two times)
so the parameters are:

3000mm F4 adjusted to infinity
weight 140 kg, length 1.3 meters

Check the last three messages with pics of actual lens
http://www.ss.lv/lv/search-result/index.html?t=FFoRHVoQFVI=

Just imagine what could be the moon pics from that lens?

Not really. I cheated by averaging everything across the bulk.



Thanks for the comments guys.

I agree that shots (crops) of the moon tell a lot about the quality of the lens.

The Zeiss 100 MP is for instance a very sharp lens:

Ok, sorry, I'll go away now


Seriously though, that classic fake Nasa pic is one of the best pieces of evidence that the moon landings never occured.
