Thanks, Phil! That's a 455B tripod and a 410 geared head, both from Manfrotto.

7D + 37 mm ET + 100 2.8 macro (at f/11) + reversed 50 1.8 II (manually stopped down to f/2.8), 2.5 sec, ISO 400, manual exposure/focus, 455B/410 support. And the set-up for the shot:

True, diffraction effect per square mm of the sensor is the same for a given set of conditions, regardless of pixel size. However, I'm interested in and have specified that I'm looking at the ...

My limited understanding on the effects of diffraction at the pixel level (in digital photography) is that it's mainly a function of Av (or f-number) and pixel size. See an excellent post on the ...

Nice detail, considering the reach.

Yes, the angle of view of the combo relative to a 36x24 mm sensor is approximately similar to 2,592 mm. Further, if we crop the capture from 24 MP to about 8 MP (the resolution of the old 20D), an ...

Thanks! If your display is 4K, you need not resize the moon, just extend the length of the black canvas to 3840 from 3600, then cut  the height to 2160 from 2400. :-)

The EF-EOS M adapter doesn't materially add any diffraction effect, although I believe there could be a very small light loss due to the extension tube effect. But the teleconverters are another ...

Thanks, Lawrence. IME, you can add TCs to a good base lens and get more moon detail until the combo is f/11 or so for a 20 - 24 MP APS-C sensor. With a 2x TC on your Sigma 150-600, you'd be at ...

Thanks Andy, and everyone for the kind comments. I converted the RAW in ACR and processed using an older version of PS (CS6). Yes, the lens had a native aperture of f/3.5 for this shot. The M3 was ...

I found some time a couple of days ago to try out a new moonshooting rig - an EOS M3 attached via an EF-EOS M adapter to a 1600 mm f/11 combo (EF 400 2.8 L IS + stacked EF 2x II and EF 2x III ...

Shooting info - Rosario, La Union, Philippines, November 15, 2016, EOS 7D MII + EF 400 2.8 IS + EF 2x TC II + EF 2x TC III, 1600 mm, f/16, ISO 100, 1/50 sec, manual exposure, 475B/516 support, two ...

The sharpest lens I ever shot is my 400 2.8 IS (I've used an 800 5.6L, a 600 f4 IS I and II, a 500 f4 IS and several copies of the 300 2.8 IS). I've owned and used extensively the 400 2.8 IS and ...

AF slows down a bit with a 1.4x III on the 7D II + 400 DO II, but it's still fast enough for fast action. Here's an 8-frame burst using a 1.4x III at a raptor dive-fishing . With a 2x III, the ...
