Is it broken?

[davis1862]

I purchased a used Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DL Macro to use on my Canon

EOS Rebel (film not digital). The seller said she tested it on her

camera and it worked great but she was selling it as is. She didn't

indicate what kind of camera she tested it on.

 

This lens seems to align properly when I first put the lens on the

body, but when I try to turn it into position it is really hard to

turn and doesn't "snap" into place. I've turned the lens as far as I

can without actually forcing it on but the camera doesn't seem to

recognize the lens.

 

I've compared the lens mount to my other EF mount lenses and it

seems to be identical in all respects.

 

The Sigma box says its for Canon AF and in another place it says

Canon EOS.

 

Is something wrong with the lens or is there a compatability issue

that I'm not aware of?

 

Hoping I didn't get ripped off...Thanks in advance.

Ken - do you have a local camera store or a friend with a Canon EOS? You could try this lens on a different camera to see if it fits...

".. but she was selling it as is...",p> Nuff said.

It should work with any canon eos body. The canon AF just means canon auto focus.

I would check to make sure one of the mount screws hasn't come loose.
