What lens do I need to photograph the moon?

You need to find one with a focal length of, at least, 300mm. Thankfully, the moon is so bright that you do not need fast, expensive, telephoto lenses. Anything with an aperture of f/5.6 or f/8 will do. For a DSLR, we recommend the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 or Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM.

Can you photograph the moon with a kit lens?

If you have a kit lens, use the 18mm setting (or most zoomed out setting). You’re going to need to keep your aperture as low as you can meaning the lens aperture is wide open. For the shutter speed you’re going to set it to open for quite a lot longer than you have previously.

What are the best lenses for photography the Moon?

Nikon’s 800mm, 600mm and 500mm super telephoto lenses. Since super telephoto prime lenses are typically very costly, I would recommend to use good quality zoom lenses instead. Lens manufacturers like Sigma and Tamron offer zoom lenses in the 150-600mm range that are excellent candidates for photographing the moon.

What is the difference between 50mm and 75mm lenses?

For example, if you mount a 50mm lens on an APS-C sensor camera such as the ILCE-6000, you’ll get the same view as a 75mm lens on a full-frame camera (50mm x 1.5 = 75mm). All manufacturers use 35mm-equivalent focal length to describe the angle of view (field of view) of a particular lens and camera combination.

What are the best 35mm lenses for the money?

Canon makes a couple of stellar options for 35mm seekers. First, one of its newest lenses is the EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM, which is obviously the most optically refined and high-end option for Canon shooters. If that is a little pricey, Sigma makes the 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art that will certainly satisfy many.
