Auto focus usually gets it right. You should be able to get a good shot of the moon without a tripod. You don't want to go too slow on the moon anyway, it moves pretty fast. Either use spot meter like Needa suggested or shoot manually. Try a few test shots, you should be able to dial in the exposure within a few shots. Something in the neighborhood of ISO 200 and f8 to f11 should leave you with some good fast shutter speeds to try hand held. You don't have to wait for a good moon, practice on a street light or distant house light.As for your other lenses and other situations, I would always move to single point focus, center point, for initially evaluating auto focus.</blockquote>
