NK Guy Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 There's no way of knowing from here. Sigma manufacture many lenses designed to fit many types of cameras. A Sigma lens that is designed to fit a Nikon camera won't fit a Canon camera or a Pentax camera. <p> You have to ask the seller for specifics or try it yourself. The lens must be marked as "EOS compatible" or "Canon EF" compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NK Guy Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Oh, and sometimes "For Canon AF" will be marked on the box. That's okay too. You can also tell by physically examining the lens mount if you know what to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_shively Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Why run the risk? The Canon 75-300 is a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_cap1 Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 A very important factor in chosing a lens should always be quality as well as future compatibility with other canons, Sigma has had a real problem with both.Several of sigmas af for canon lenses such as the 24mm 2.8 and 50mm macro(to name 2) will not work with eye control canons, nor will sigma update them. Do yourself a favor, do not be tempted by the lower price of this lens, stick with canon and save yourself from a potential future problem.

canonlover Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 One word for which make of lens you should buy for a Canon camera: CANON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
