Is it possible to take a full moon with foreground with simple 300mm lens? Today and yesterday there was a full moon and I was trying to capture it with the foreground of the 25 April Bridge over the Tagus River in Lisbon. I know that for an unbelievable photo I should go km away because of the perspective of the moon. And a huge lens should be nice. But I would like to know if with my simple cam I can take the photo i…

What’s a good upgrade from the original Panasonic 100-300mm? I’m looking for a micro four thirds super telephoto lens that would be an upgrade in sharpness at 300mm over the original Panasonic 100-300mm. I mainly do bird photography, so the 100-300mm range is pretty much perfect for my needs. I’d prefer to stay as light and cheap as possible. What would you guys recommend? submitted by /u/DeltalJul…

What is the cheapest E-mount lens that reaches 300mm (APS-C)? I wanna try some simple lunar and solar photography. I figured out that 300mm is enough. I already have a vintage Sigma 400mm lens, but it’s very soft and the manual focus is tricky. So, what is the best budget lens for e-mount that reaches 300mm? I would prefer autofocus, but if it’s sharp enough I would settle with manual focus. submitted …

300mm A7cR or 200mm + teleconverter with Nikon Z50? I am currently renting a Sony A7cR with Sony FE 4.5-5.6 70-300 G OSS and I also have a Nikon Z50 (APS-C) with a 2x teleconverter. I can probably go rent the Nikon 70-200 F 2.8 to use with the teleconverter to essentially make the Nikon @ ~600mm FF equivalent, but not sure if the superior resolution of the A7cR will make that difference not as mu…

70-300mm lens vs 100-400mm for concert photography ? More precisely : i’m asking about the Lumix 70-300mm F/4.5-5.6 vs Sigma 100-400mm F/5-6.3 for a Lumix S5iiX I already have the really good 24-70mm F/2.8 Art from Sigma and I’m buying the 50mm F/0.95 from TTartisan. I have a versatile lens, a fast one, now I need a long one. I see a lot of people saying THE must have kit is the combo 24-70mm lens…

Need some clarification re open aperture and 200-300mm So I basically understand depth of field, and my impression is that some image sharpness starts to be lost at 200-300mm focal length. I’m not quite clear about all the reasons for this, but I’m just reading now, for example, that at 200-300mm, slight movements become very noticeable and this may be counteracted with fast shutter speed. So, I di…

Nikon D7500 & 18-300mm lens I’m using the Nikon 18-300 on my d7500 and I’m having issues with pictures not being clear. Mostly I see it when I’m past 200mm. I’m typically at least 1/1000 shitter at this focal length. Is this a limitation of this lens or am I just not getting the focus right? Anyone have a similar experience? submitted by /u/CaffeinatedG33k …

Switching lens, need suggestions (Canon 90D)(Sigma 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3) As the title suggests, I own a Sigma 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3, and I’m thinking of switching it for different lenses. (I wrote a lot about my experiences with it but it’s a bit too long lol. I’ll move to the comments instead.) I’m thinking of switching to two prime lenses.

Fuji X-T20 + 70-300mm, is it passable for Wildlife? Hi, Recently picked up a Fuji X-T20. I am brand new to photography and since I’ve taken it camping a few times, I’ve had this urge to get a long lens to shoot wildlife photography or try to get into it. I wonder if now Fuji might not have been the best camera system to get into, based on some research and comparison with Olympus and Panasonic, …

Good zoom lens for plane photography (300mm+) Hi, I have been photographing planes using my Canon Rebel SL2 and 75-300m lens that was included in the kit that I purchased. However, I’ve noticed that the AF on this lens is pretty slow and not accurate, which is a hassle when trying to take pictures of planes that are moving relatively fast towards me. I’d like a good budget lens that I could…
