Yss. This lense for the Canon T3i works very well. Great range for close and zoom.

It is a really nice lens. Though if you want portrait or medium telephoto, the 135 f/2 or the 70-200 f/2.8 are both fantastic as well, and maybe better suited.

This lens is great for overall use, however a standard 50mm in your camera mount are much cheaper and sharp enough for weddings. Most brides don't want every blemish to show.

I have used this lens with Canon EOS Rebel T4i, Canon EOS 6D, and Canon EOS 5D Mark III. It should work fine. I have, however, found that where I could take really decent, clear photos of, say, dragonflies about 11 feet away from the lens with the Rebel T4i, I have had less success doing the same with the two full frame cameras. Too much has to be cropped away post download, whereas with the cropped sensor of the T4i, the resulting image, even after some reduction, remained sharp and not apparently pixelated. With larger objects this problem has not existed.

I have shot 3 weddings with this lens and I haven't had a problem with it, it's been great. I have used the 70-200 and its just a bit faster that the 80-200 but I can't really tell the difference.

It's perfect for that. It covers the D800 full frame and I've heard people refer to it as "the wedding lens". I don't do weddings on a regular basis, but when I shot my niece's wedding recently, I used this lens almost exclusively.

I wouldn't say your bound to get way better quality vs this lens kompared to a 18-55mm. That all depends of kourse on the quality of the lens your using. But i will say this lens is amazing and has great picture quality. In a wedding setting i would definitely recommend simply because wedding pictures usually deal with shots that envolved groups of people. And they really weren't lying when they said "wide angle" regarding the description of this lens. It remarkable how much massive space this lens is able to kapture and fit into a single shot. Hope this waz informative for u.

I bought it last July 2012 and it works perfect with my T2i but make sure ask the seller if it comes with M42 screw mount adapter or you can buy it separate.You'll fall in love with this lens.Best for closeup, portrait and video.

My one and only experience has been with the Canon Rebel T3. However, on 30Jan2014, I bought a wide angle lens for my T3. If fitted just right. It works great in photography involving flowers. Good luck. You should not have any problems. MZurita

The Canon T3 Camera (Canon's economy class) DSLR with standard KIT 18-55mm Lens is of lesser quality Lens than their "EOS Rebel i" series (T2i, T3i, T5i, etc.), with their EF-S (Electronic Focus Stabilized) Lenses. However, the Sigma "AF" (Auto Focus) Series Lenses made for Canon products are essentially compatible with all Canon Cameras that use the EF-S type Lens mounting system. Make certain that the Sigma Lens 18-250mm you chose is the "AF" (Auto Focus), EF-S type for Canon. If you are still skeptical, send a note to Sigma Support, and they can provide absolute confirmation. One of the Lenses I utilize is a Sigma 18250mm "AF" on a Canon T2i, and Canon 60D. P.S. Just as FYI, the Canon 60D Camera is becoming a bit dated (some 3yrs. old since its initial release), but is still produced. Although the 70D is the newer version, and other makes/models have more features, the 60D is a powerful very versatile DSLR with lots of flexibilities, and provides excellent imagery results.

Yes, the T3I is a 'crop sensor' so the true focal length will actually be 45MM on your camera. This is almost a 'true-to-life' focal length (50mm is the perfect general purpose lens). The lens is sharp, fast and works great for landscape for indoor photography. I highly recommend this for the REBEL series cameras.

I have the T3i and I have no problems with it at all. It works with both of the lenses you just asked about. It works perfectly for me.

Yes it will work, and is an excellent wide angle lens to learn on. Because the T3 is a cropped sensor, the lens will be the equivalent of a of a 32-56 mm lens. You alos might want to consider the Canon EFS 10-22 which is designed for the cropped sensor.

While the lens will work for anything, if you are going to shoot weddings for a living you need something faster for shooting with available light or really good strobe units in which case this lens would be fine.
