Personally I like this lens a lot... so I think it will work for anything you're wanting to shoot with it. The only issues I've run into with it are images can be soft at times. Not sure if that's the lens or the photographer! :0)

You sure can...works well on my canon xsi (450d) (field camera), as well as my 7d. Great lens, have fun with it.

Hi Raymond,Canon has terrific email response to questions like yours. They respond within a day. I have used it more than once. I suspect the answer is yes, but it is best to check with them. I don't know where you live, but if there is a professional camera store they could also answer your question. I hope this helps even though I didn't directly answer your question.I can say it is an awesome lens. If you think about it we see in wide angel. This lens is great in every way.Bruce

This wide angle lens will screw on to the front of any lens that you might have that has a 58mm threaded end. Look on the lens you have and see what number is on the side. It will be 54mm, 58mm etc. This is not to be confused with the optics of the lens, this refers to the thread diameter.I use it, also on my Canon Rebel XT but it will work on any camera that has a 58mm lens. It is cheap; so, I took a chance. Have not really used it yet other than to see if it fit. Good luck.

I think Tom's answer is the right think to do, I was photographing off road races the last week and as. A test bring my Oly epl 3 with two prime MD lenses a 50 and 200, using the same adapter and works surprisingly GOOD, if you try everything and doesn't work may be its defective! good Luck always here to help if you need.

This is a great lense. It is compatible with the Rebel camera body. It is a wide angle lense vs the 55-250mm lense which is more of a zoom lense.

No it is not a wide angle lens. Wide angle is usually wider than 18 mm (or 27mm in full frame).

You just have to fix it to your camera lens, as in a 18.55 or the zoom lens, which ever you are planning to use. It will give you the benefit of using your zoom along with the wide angle. This is an adapter only so it has to used with your camera lens. Just screw it onto the lens and start shooting..

If your lens has a 58mm front diameter. Its not very good tho, lots of distortion. You are better off getting a good wide angle lens.

I shoot a canon mark III, and a very heavy, canon 300mm. It works like a dream. I shot sports and have to roam around a lot!

I believe they make it for canon products. put the lens in search on amazon for canon and you should find the answer

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

I don't shoot sporting events, but I would think you would need a longer lens. I am not crazy about this lens because of chromatic aberration.

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.

There are third party software products that will correct it. That being said, if you plan on using this lens a lot for anything other than fisheye images, it's really not a good choice. When you correct this lens, you're stretching out the image and are going to loose a lot of sharpness in doing so. Canon makes a REALLY EXCELLENT rectilinear super wide angle which might be a better choice. Of course, that lens is designed for a full frame camera.

Thank you for your comment. I found it very helpful. I naturally prefer Canon but really want the wide-angle offered in this Sony camcorder. Canon missed the boat on wide angle in my view.
