Is this lens for APS-C camera only? Or does it work for full frame cameras?

Sigma DC lens are designed primarily for APS-C sensors (comparable to Canon's EF-S lens). They will work on full frame sensors but, as I understand it, the edges of the photo will be affected (darkened...) because the lens does not provide full coverage of the sensor.

APS-C only. Will NOT work on full frame cameras. the "DC" in the model indicates APS-C format, "DM" would be full frame and "DN" for mirrorless.

While this lens is designed for APS-C sensors, on my Pentax full frame film camera it WILL cover the full frame from 20mm down to about 13mm. Beyond that you get heavy vignetting. This is my most heavily used lens, by FAR, and the one that produces the most jaw-dropping results. On a couple of recent images I have corrected the distortion by using the Free Transform tool in Photoshop, but the majority of these are uncorrected: https://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/albums/72157656144634018

It would work in the canon mount but this is a full frame lens and you would be best to buy a lens designed for your smaller "APS" sensor size cameras

NO!! This is for APS-C cropped sensor Canon cameras ONLY. Canon is not like the Nikon which can use this lens on a full frame camera. Canon cannot! It will damage your camera body, so don't do it!!

No, you do not get an image crop--in fact you get the opposite in that you get a wider view of the lenses than you would see compared to using a crop sensor camera. What will happen if you use a lens designed for an APS-C camera is vignetting at the edges as the image circle of the lens will not adequately cover the larger area of a full-frame sensor--especially at the shorter focal lengths. The "cropping factor" applies when using crop-sensor cameras: when a certain focal length lens will have the framing of a lens about 1.5-1.6 times its focal length when being used on an APS-C crop sensor camera compared to what would be seen with that lens on a full-frame camera.

This model is APS-C sensor size ,it's not a full frame...is a little smaller sensor you have to use 1.5x factor on the lens to know the exact focal length. The price of the camera will tell you if its full frame or not because full frame are so expensive...then look for the spec. On the camera box.

Yes, Good match-up too! This lens is designed to work with the APS-C size sensor and not the full frame sensor like the -850 and the a900. This is an under rated lens that will work very well for you.

That is true. Lens for APS-C is not good enough for A99. 24-70/2.8 Zeiss are working great with A99 - I have A99, A900 and A77 and this is lens for full frame bodies. It is sharp, has very good contrast, images looks perfectly. It is my best lens at the moment. 16-50/2.8 has problem with working with light in the view, 24-70/2.8 is much better (look at my pictures, for example https://www.flickr.com/photos/jacekr/6050308354/ ).Best regards, Jacek.

No, I tested it with a SLR film camera (full frame) and at 18mm you can see a dark circle around the image, over 24mm the circle disappears. This lens works well in APS-C cameras.

Nope. The "S" in "EF-S" tells you it's for APSC cameras only not full frame. It's for SL-1, The Rebels, 7D, and the XXd series like the 70D. The STM version of this lens is very nice, quite sharp. Its silent operation is what you want for video.

Hi, I apologize but I cannot find the dialogue from the seller where we spoke of this. I believe this lens worked for both full frame and those with a crop factor. I tried to verify via Tamron's site direct, but can no longer find the lens. You would need to find one with a mount that fits your Canon, or find an adapter.

This lens is specific to the APS-C format sensor (DX sensor in Nikon parlance) - it works great on both my D7100's as well an older D5100. The focus motor is fast and accurate and picture quality is superb.

I have used this lens on canon 5d mark 2 and canon 6d, both full frame....I am sure it will work on apc sensor too, but full frame , I am sure of....mm

Hi K. Aujong, this Sony SAL70300G is an A-mount APS-C type of lens. It is not full frame. -Ely

officially No, it is for APS-C, the "DC" means sensors for sigma lines. But you can use it on a full frame but there will be some light vignetting, that some people don't mind. I use this on my secondary camera 50D, I have my full frame lens as well. hope it works out for you

Isn't the Canon 7D a full frame and the 70D APS-C? This lens would then work only with the 70D, NOT the 7D. Confusing camera model numbers by Canon. Hard to distinguish what fits what.

Is the Sony 18-200LE mm an APS-C or an Full-Frame Lens and is it Compatible with Sony's PDAP firmware .???. J.Jack

You are correct. This lens is equivalent of 80mm lens for APS-C sensor. Canon XS, XT, XTI, etc.. have APS-C sensor (1.6 x crop factor).
