With my (much inferior camera) I had to shoot in manual and play around a lot, because even with Partial Metering I needed more than -2 stops of EC to get any decent contrast in the moon. I'm no expert on moon shots though. My thread on pushing the ISO to 3200 and 6400 on the XTi, has 100% crops from both the 55-250 and the 70-20. The ISO 1600 are probably the most relevant. Here's the thread: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=668129 EDIT: See here. Not quite Apples to Apples, but a good comparison. http://www.the-digital-picture.com …omp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=2  70-200 shots: https://photography-on-the.net …php?p=7605681&postcount=3 55-250 shots: https://photography-on-the.net …hp?p=7612226&postcount=19 |Ben Johnson Photography

So both are capable of getting it all. Shoot something like a bird from closer range and you will see the difference in detail and sharpness. Taylor

Since you ask, both of those images are appalling, neither is representative of what either lens can achieve, and together they do not offer any basis on which a meaningful comparison could be made.
