I practice photography. I took this pic tonight on a film lens on my canon 200D (sl2).  Its at 230mm at f22.  Focus is set at infinity.  ISO was at 100 and the shutter speed was at 1/21 seconds. Its an APC sensor so the crop factor is 1.6 brining the focal length to 368mm.  I edited it in Adobe Lightroom. <https://stock.adobe.com/contributor/207691084/Daniel>

    Try not using F22 because of the diffraction, maybe try f8-f11 for a sharper image? Also sometimes setting the focus to infinity puts it actually past it, so try to manually achieve the sharpest focust.

     

    Overall quite a good picture, maybe a bit fussy, but overall good.

     

    But quick question? If you shot at F22, iso 100 and 1/21, how is the image not very dark? Did you bring the exposure up in post, or is the moon actually that bright?

    1/21 makes me think he meant 21/1

    @GDRRiley Nah, i don't think so. 21 secs is way too long of an exposure time for such a close up, the moon actually moves pretty fast, so it would be blur city.

    1/21 seems okay for the level of blur on his photo.

    This is an old film lens that has quite severe chromatic aberration at the faster stops.  I actually took many pics at all various of settings, but this pic seemed the sharpest.  I took pics from f4.5 to f22 and noticed that I could not tell much difference between f11 through f22.  This of course is all manual.  I also took a video of the moon and it does indeed cross the night sky quickly. https://youtu.be/CabB8m-ClFM

    The moon is quite bright against the night sky.

    @rubberpuppy Nice lens!

     

    And yeah the picture is still quite good, just a tiny bit blurry, but with and old lens it can be understandable.

    Also your quoting didn't work for some reason, it should look orange and stuff, not normal text.
