 My first "shoot" with my new 70-200 2.8f I'm still messing with PS too; sorry about the ring around the moon.

Oh, by the way, this photo is at a 100% crop. That might explain a little also why the "ring" is around the moon.

Thanks for viewing this photo. -Brandon

Great shot man, glad you like the new lens. Could be the one to put you over the top.

It's likely that you could improve sharpness a lot by stopping down to f4 or 5.6. Most lenses, esp long ones tend to get a little soft when shooting with them wide open. The moon is bright enough to shoot at smaller apertures with ease if you use a tripod. I think that you will have a great time shooting with the new 2.8. It makes composing and focusing a lot easier because of the brightness in the viewfinder.
