Don't fret.

Atmospheric conditions have to be perfect to get an acceptable photo of the moon with a consumer grade lens.

Thanks oldvulture, it was quite cloudy, and I had also forgotten to take the IS off before taking the pictures! Geez there is so much to learn!

I have an old copy of this lens that I got cheap ($175) that I don't use much anymore. But I do have a question about it that some of you might know the answer to. I posted this in the lens forum, but thought this might be a much more focused subforum to post it in.

How many examples are there of this lens where the IS switch doesn't actually have the words "On" and "Off" but has an "O" and "|" instead? Mine doesn't have the words, and I didn't think much about it until I saw some shots of one in the sale forum. These don't have date codes, so I have no idea how old it is, but thought the labeling of the IS switch might provide some clue. It's a Japan-made version, for what that's worth. Just curious mostly. Thanks,

Bought mine new around 6 years ago, no words on the IS switch

Mine came as a kit (11/09), says ON/OFF, and is fluent in Taiwanese.

Can't rem sold the old copy last yr. I think o is on and l is off not sure

Was a very nice day today so we went for a walk...
