I like to photograph full moons for later double exposures with some urban evening sights around Portland, OR. I use a 200mm SMC Takumar, Velvia 50 slide film, and, of course a tripod. The 200mm doesn't give me a full frame image but one that approximates a full moon in the sky a few hours after moonrise. My exposure is like shooting in bright daylight: 1/250 at f 8. This recommendation came from an article in a photo magazine and it works. Good luck,
