Will Auto Focus work with 5D MK III? I read that this lens does not autofocus with newer cameras and was made to autofocus with the film cameras.

It works with my 6D. I am not sure about the 5D MKIII since I don't own one. I believe the electronic interface for all canon camera is standard and the same, and so it should work. If you buy it under Amazon Prime then you can try it and return it within 7 to 10 days if you are not satisfied with it. I buy a lot from Amazon and returned few items before and had no issues in returning them.

Someone mentioned focusing on the D50 and D40. The D50 focuses both kinds of lenses-the newer AF-S and the old screwdrive AF lenses. But the D40 only focuses with the AF-S lenses that have the focus motor built into the lens. So no this lens will not autofocus with the D40, D40x, or D60.

Don't know about the T5. I tried it on my T3, and had a Lot of trouble getting it to focus properly while holding the camera by hand. It made the lens heavier so it was harder to hold the camera still enough to focus. The auto focus never could 'catch' on any one object in the field of vision to focus on, and the battery quickly exhausted. I think using it requires a tripod and manual focus, which isn't necessarily a prohibitive problem. But it didn't do very well for quick shots out in the field,if that makes any sense.

Compatible with 5D Mark II, but not with 5D mark III. It looks like you may need an Ee-S for the original 5D (that you call Mark I).

This is why I bought a D800 so I could use all of my old lenses. Use another old lens of the same kind to see if it works but I doubt it just as others have said that it will not work with autofocus. The 35-70 was first sold in 1963 and is still one of the best.

I used to use Canon 60D with this lens that didn't come with really good photos. Yet when I upgraded to 5D Mark III that takes a extremely good photos.I won't suggest you to get this unless you upgrade to more high class body.

I don't use the 5d Mark iii myself, but I see from its specs that it has the Canon EF lens mount. I think you can be confident that these extension tubes will fit and do the job.

Canon's webpage for the 5D mark III (http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_5d_mark_iii#Specifications) states that this body works with EF lenses but not EF-S lenses. I guess the computer in the 5Dmk3 doesn't work with the image stabilization.

I own a 7D, and could micro adjust focus in camera. No reason you couldn't do the same on 5D3.

It works really well. Between my friend and I, we have the Canon 6D and 7D and use it all the time with both. Works perfect with auto focus. This is ALWAYS on my camera!

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

Not as you might think or hope. It will not autofocus, which is the big problem with older lenses and any newer camera bodies below the D7XXX series. This should be a deal breaker, so just get the new G version of the lens...

Hi, thanks for your question.Based on the product title, this lens is for Canon EOS 7D and 60D Digital SLR Cameras. So I'd assume that it is not compatible with the 5D Mark II camera.I hope this helps!

No. The Canon 5D Mark III is a full frame camera and is not designed for the Canon EF-S line of lenses. I don't believe it will even mount on the 5D Mark III. Even if it did mount, the EF-S line is designed for the smaller APS size sensor line of Canon cameras. Thus, you would see a darkening of the corners of your image if it did mount. You need to stick to the EF line of lenses.

Yes, the 85mm 1.8 works well with my 5D Mark III. This is my go to lens for potraits. I would definitely recommend this lens.

It will only work as a manual focus lens and not an autofocus. I havent looked for any manual and autofocus adapters because all the older lenses I have are strictly manual. Even though you can only shoot in manual, the adapter is worth it. :)

I don't know much about the 6d as I have the mark III. But from I understand the 6d is full frame as is the mark III. If that's the case it should work very well with it. Keep in mind the Len is manual only which is really good when making a film/movies as the focus ring eases into the film. However since you said you will be outdoor, getting precise focus will be more challenging in sunlight as it will depend on your "eye". So it requires you to slow things down and taking your time when taking a picture as opposed to doing the half shutter to get it in focus. In terms of color and the image, the lens really is superior but only if you get things right. If it's not right, you are more likely to be upset because it then becomes a missed opportunity. So because of this some people have a love/hate relationship with the lens. Hope that helps
