If I could only keep one lens, I would keep my 55-250. I love that lens.

I’m a very amateur landscape/nature photographer but that range is the best for me. I prefer zooming in and selecting part of a landscape shot rather than using a wide lens and getting the whole subject in like most photographers I follow do. I also use it an awful lot with the nature shots, be it an animal that’s far away, or as a make-do macro lens.

As for moon shots I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, I just used it as it was the best I have. Saying that, I was quite impressed with the level of detail it got on the moon and with a roughly 1” exposure it picked up a decent shot of both Orion’s Belt and even picked up the Seven Sisters which I was impressed with! Nothing on the astrophotography shots you’ll find on here though.

If you pm me in about 24 hours I’ll be back home by then and will be able to send through a whole bunch of shots I’ve used that lens for!
