will this lens work on a 5D Mark II and what can I expect in shot sharpness?

I am using it one a 5D MIII and am quite happy with the lens. I got it for time-lapse with the manual aperture feature. So far very happy with the lens for the price.

This lens is compatible with all EF mount cameras. So yes. Lense is very sharp. Try not to cut yourself.

Yes it will fit your 5D2. I own numerous Canon "L" lenses, this lens is superb! Sharp and color contrast is great! A tad bit soft on the edges. Awesome lense for stars. One note, it is fully manual. F-stop and focus. The Nikon version has a focus confirmation chip, the Canon version does not, but can be purchased from numerous sellers on ebay.

I am using it with my 5D Mark II. It works fine for me. Not sure about older models.

It's an improvement if you have a T4i, T5i, or 70D. Otherwise, you will likely get less than satisfactory performance. These new generation models have the compatible features for both the EF-S lens type--where it's closer to the sensor--and STep Motor technology for quick and virtually silent autofocus. But don't expect it to perform to specs or even as well as your older lenses if your camera body is not one of the three listed above. If you used it on a 5D Mark III for example, it would be noisy, the focus would stutter a bit, and slow.

It should. I've recently purchased this lens and I've been very pleased with how it well performs. I was particularly impressed with how sharp the focus was and how well it froze the action while shooting a marching band performance at night. Of course you have to turn up your ISO and adjust your settings on your camera.

I only had EOS Rebel t2i and it works with this lens. I'm guessing it will work on T5i as well, but I'm not 100% positive

In the case of the 5DIII, you will need to confirm that your camera is running firmware version 1.2.1 or later in order for auto focus to even try to operate. I've used that teleconverter and lens combination on a 5DII and it works with a few caveats. The auto focus will be much slower than with the bare lens. The auto focus will also require more light with the 2x TC.

If your 5D has an auto focus fine tune feature then the SpyderLensCal will work. Just doing a quick search online it seems that your 5D doesn't have that feature but the Mkii and Mkiii does.

I use the lens on the Canon 5D MK II and can get some pretty close up images. Your camera isn't full frame so I would imagine that you could get even more magnification. As far as upgrading to a higher class body, this is a great lens and if you do upgrade it will still be a great lens. I do mostly portraits and and a lot of theatrical productions with it and it's my absolute favorite lens.

Yes it will work on a 5d. This product will work with any camera and lens. Its the software in the camera that allows you to make the needed adjustments per lens. Look at a 60d, it can't make a lens adjustment in its software. But other cameras can like the 5d mklll. The Mark 3 will remember and automatically adjust every lens you have ever used this product on. It is a great tool to setup all of your lens with. ---- Have a great day! R.Wilkerson

I don't have that lens, but as far as I know it should.Actually, now that I have thought about it, your biggest aperture will go to f8. You need to make sure 7d-ii can focus using f8. I believe that 7d could do it after Canon updated the rom, so I would suspect that 7d-ii should also do it. But it is a suspicion, not a statement of fact.

I don't have either of those cameras, but I'm certain it would work on a 5D, and almost certain it works on a 50D. This lens has an EF mount on it, so it should fit on all recent model Canon DSLRs.

No this is a CROP Sensor lens and the 5D is a full frame lens. This will work on Crop sensor cameras like the 60D, 7D, etc.

Here is what I read at Tamron and Canon,firstly the 17-50 is primarily built for smaller sensors ,like the 40,50,60D and so on, the lens is and EF-S even though its nit written as so,the DI format will work on a 5d mark ii or 3,but there are risk and it also states that there is only part of the sensor that will use the lens and work,so for all practical reasons, its a bust for big body,now if you decide to buy the Tamron 28-75 it is a EF lens and is made for both body small and large, Hope that helps, my next buy is the 28-75 ,if this current lens is good

The EF-S lens will only work on some of Canon's cameras, The EF will work on your 5D MarkII, the EF-S will not.

I have this lens mounted on my D5100 and it works fine. I'm an amateur photographer (for what it's worth) but this lens is the sharpest I've used! Nice lens!

Yes it will. Just make sure you get the Pentax mount version (K-mount). Note that there is no auto focus with Rokinon lenses, manual focus only. Good lens though. I get some pretty good images with with the lens on my K-5II.

This Sigma lens and most of the Sigma lenses can be ordered with different mounts. The 50-500mm will work very well on the 5D.
