  • could this work on a D5000 with a 55-200 mm VR II?

  • Yup.

  • Hello !!

    I was wonder cus the moon is moving pritty fast the 1/250 shutterspeed will be to slow if you like to have a sharp image of the moon the shutterspeed need to be at least 1/500s or iam i wrong??

  • Hah, nope, it's the brightness of the moon. The aperture takes care of the sharpness and how much light to enter the lens.
