I have a Canon Rebel XTI and a 70-300mm lens. Is this a good option?

I would say no. Go to a camera shop and try one on your camera to be sure it fits.

It is a good option ONLY in outdoor daylight on a tripod. The 2x converter will eat up a lot of light and the 70-300 already needs a lot of light. Last this combination will struggle to auto focus on anything within 75 feet. Overall I think this is a bad idea

I had a Canon 70-300 lens for about twenty years and continued to use it when I bought my new Rebel t1i. A year or so I fropped it and replaced with a digital one of the same focal length. Both these lenses have served me very well, as an amateur photographer. Excellent choice. A couple years ago i bought a 2x converter and have used it a surprising number of times. I like the results with that on, too.

2X Converters basically will all provide a little "noise", but buying the Canon version, would be the better, less expensive alternate to extending the capability of your lens for your Canon XTi.

I have the same camera and lens kit (18-55) and a 75-300mm. I find everything fits better if I put the 75-300mm on the camera in the bag although it is a little snug. There is still room for one more lens or flash as well as a couple of filters, extra batteries etc. Honestly for the price I don't think you could get much better. I have another bag which I keep at home for any extras and will use this bag for taking the camera outdoors.

I won a Canon Rebel XTi and I was able to reverse mount my kit lens with no issues. The images I captured look great.

if you have the typical 18-55mm that comes with the camera I dont think you loose quality and will gain significant range of use with the 18-200. I have used this lenses extensively with relevant endurance tests. It is a very resistant. Have not use the 70-300mm

You should a fx camera as well but the more important is what kind of lens you will use you should buy some lens at list F/2.8 for low light and telephoto minimum 70-200 or 300mm

If you have a camera capable of good higher ISO performance it should work well. As you know it is much less than a 300 f2.8 in money, weight and size. Since it is a fixed 300mm you may want to pair it with a wider lens and body too as it will get in close, especially if you are using a DX body.

I have used the lens on a Rebel xt and ti3 by Canon. The lens fits on both. You can check and see if the lens has canon mount.

Ah, the Rebel XT -- I had one of those for a while. Small LCD screen did make it a bit hard to check if something was in focus or not. The Canon 100-300mm USM isn't a bad lens. But you might consider upgrading the 28-80mm USM -- even the newer kit lens, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, is an improvement. You might also enjoy working with a fast prime lens for the background blurring it can provide. Something like the the Canon 50mm f1.8 or 50mm f1.4 or 85mm f1.8 are excellent lenses.Cool images, by the way!

My camera has a 200mm lens and it is a snug fit but I don't know if a 300mm is bigger

Get the 40D kit. The 28-135 is an excellent lens; I used it for years. The 40D is an outstanding camera; we sold the XTi after owning the 40D a week. Worth every penny-you will love it. By the way, I paid considerably more than what it is selling for now and I don't regret buying it when I did as I got that much extra use out of it.

Depends what you mean by "good." :) The T3i is a crop-sensor camera, so the 28mm doesn't give you as wide an angle as it would on a full-frame. However, from what I can tell, this is the best low-light wide angle lens available for Canons. It's a great lens for photographing children or pets indoors. This is the primary lens I have on my T2i. If you're interested in portrait work (of people), or low-light photography, this is really the lens you want. I imagine you already have the 18-55mm kit lens, so you have something wider-angle for outdoor or brightly-lit places.

I purchased this lens for my husband. He wanted a fixed lens, not a zoom. It takes great pictures. However, the Canon 70-300 f/4-5.6L IS USM looks like a beautiful lens, and if this is your first, perhaps it is more versatile for your needs.

This is a full frame camera. I'd pick a lens which opens wide. ... preferably F 2.8 or 1.8...You'll get a good foreground isolation / background blur with these lenses. For example, the 24-70mm F2.8 or the 50 mm F/1.4. Then again, if you intend to use this for travel etc., Any of the lenses you have here are good. My personal preference would be the 28-300.. Just because of the range.

i have a Rebel xs and i just got canon sx20is for the zoom if you don't want to invest in lens i thing the sx20is for most people would be best

The zs30 has a great lens that will give you a the best quality image. Equal to a good dslr. The primary drawback is that it is very fragile.

Sound like you have a nice kit, but does sound like and upgrade is in order For your t3 this would make a great but quit long portrait lens, and a good lens for some sports. Keep in mind though it is not a zoom. One person here mentions the 70-200 f2.5 zoom which is a great lens for what you should consider. I would put it on a full frame body or the 7d. One more thing I would not trade, as I said you have a nice kit. In yur shoes I would spring for the 7d body and this lens for starters. Keep your curent kit for backup. The 50mm f1.4 would be something I would want to great portrait lens for t3 and 7d.

I have the Rebel XTI and I've taken some great close up pictures with the Canon 100mm f2.8 macro. I also have the 70-200mm f/4, 17-55mm f2.8, 85mm f1.8 and the 17-40 f/4, but my favorite is the 100mm macro with the 70-200mm f/4 a very close second.
