Moon, 100mm vs. 75-300mm

[hsmoscout]

The great battle of 100mm vs. 75-300mm has begun! The moon was bright so I decided to get some comparisons to see if it would be better to crop a pic from the 100mm than take a normal pic from the 75-300mm, since the 75-300mm is so bad and the 100 is so sharp.

With the 100mm (new):

75-300mm (old/normal):

It seems even to me, although I could have been more accurate with the crop of the 100mm pic, so I might take another set of pics soon.

Very nice shot of the full moon, AJ!! Awesome crispness with nice contrast especially in the second pic.

on the 75-300mm I was at 1/200 shutter speed, f/8.0, ISO 100. But I messed with the sharpness and contrast in Gimp, did a lot better editing on the 300mm pic to bring out the details in the moon

They're really awesome, both of them! Mine just come out all white

Then turn the shutter speed up. Or ISO down, or use a smaller aperture
