Sorry, I don't know as I use a Pentax and it works perfectly. I would go to the Tamron website to verify.

The Canon camera I am using with this lens is the Canon EOS Rebel XTI and lens works fine. You should be able to google the use of this lens with the Canon body and see the reviews. I have enjoyed the lens.

Of course, all the rebels can use EF and EF-S lenses. I had an XTi (which pre-dates the T2i) and it could use it. If your camera has a red dot it can use an EF lens. I am certain it does. And this lens is a steal -- $200 off retail just because it comes in a bundle with a cheap UV filter. Why? No one knows, but $200 is $200!!

I am using it with my X-E1. I do not have any problems with the speed thus far for my uses (enthusiast photography, architectural and stills). I do like the quality, very sharp and great colors. I am not sure what kind of speed you are looking for and unfortunately I have not used the Canon lens you mention. If speed is desired, F2.8 is desirable, but as far as performance and price point is concerned; this is the sweet spot for me. Also, read some of the reviews on the purchase page. Very good info there as well. Good luck!

I'm so glad there's something posted here - this is one of the lenses I'm considering getting my husband for Christmas. He has the Sigma 50-200mm lens right now and in my experience with it, it hasn't been too bad. Should he be happy with the 18-200?

Brandon. It doesn't say when you asked this question but I figured the answer out. First, I just purchased the last one that a storefront had for $289, so i'm sorry if I stole the lens from you :X. Second, the price is going to be interesting on this lens from here on out. It has been discontinued due to a recently announced new model. The question is how much will this new model cost? To my knowledge that hasn't been answered. I decided to snag it at this price because if the new model is upwards of $400 then it out of my price range anyway. If the new model comes out sub $400 this older model might tank in price. Supply and demand will dictate based on that information. As for big stores, I don't see you having much luck. Most did firesales and liquidated their stock already to mitigate the price risk. I can tell you that this is my first fixed lens for general photography. It hasnt even arrived yet, but when it does I plan to test it out. If its not to my liking I can resell it to you at the price I purchased + the tax I paid + shipping. I would generally just return it but that lowers your chance of it ending up in your hands. If this was a recent post just come back to me and I can show you proof that it hasn't even arrived yet :). Take care!

Please see my response to an earlier question "Is this lens compatible/recommended for Canon EOS 70D?". You've got the same situation with your t4i - a camera that will take EF or EF-S type lenses. This is an EF lens, so it'll work just fine. I continue to be pleased with the one I recently got. Hope this helps.

I have used this lens with Canon EOS Rebel T4i, Canon EOS 6D, and Canon EOS 5D Mark III. It should work fine. I have, however, found that where I could take really decent, clear photos of, say, dragonflies about 11 feet away from the lens with the Rebel T4i, I have had less success doing the same with the two full frame cameras. Too much has to be cropped away post download, whereas with the cropped sensor of the T4i, the resulting image, even after some reduction, remained sharp and not apparently pixelated. With larger objects this problem has not existed.

Yes, it should be compatible with the Canon EOS Rebel T3. However, if you're purchasing the lens with the idea that it will give you quality photos, please reconsider your purchase. I bought the lens with the expectation that the photos would be sharp and in focus and I was very disappointed. While it can zoom in on objects from far away, the reality is that it's not a very high quality lens and the images you obtain, whether it be mountains in the distance, or a tree across the street, the image will be 'soft', 'out of focus,' and grainy. I've been really disappointed with mine and plan on selling it and purchasing a better lens. I hope this helps. Yes, it should be compatible with the Canon EOS Rebel T3.

I have Canon D60 and T3i and this lens is fantastic on both at all settings. I would contact sigma and talk to them about it.

I can't speak from personal experience as I own neither this lens nor the Rebel XSi, but from what I've been reading and based on the images of this lens provided by Amazon, this lens does not have built-in image stabilization. However, it appears that the EF-S lens mount is compatible with the XSi, according to Wikipedia. You can take it for what it's worth, but I'm almost certain that this lens will work with the XSi.

Hi! you can use any FD to EOS adaptors. Of course you have to set the F/stop and focus yourself. Some of these adaptors work better than others. The adaptors from Fotodiox are much better made. They cost a little more but you will get no play with the lens on the adaptor. Hint, Mount the adaptor to the lens then the whole unit to the body. Make sure you have the index marks lined correctly or they lens or the adaptor will get stuck.. A little practice any they will be as sharp as the autofocus lenses...

Straight from the instruction pamphlet..."As of June 2011, only the EOS 7D. EOS 60D, EOS 50D, EOS 40D, EOS 30D, EOS 20D, EOS 20Da, EOS REBEL T3i/600D, EOS REBEL T2i/550D, EOS REBELT1i/500D, EOS REBEL XSi/450D, EOS REBEL T3/1100D, EOS REBEL XS/1000D, EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL, EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT/350D DIGITAL, and the EOS DIGITAL REBEL/300d digital are compatible with EF-S lenses." So if it's the EOS REBEL T1i/500D this lens will work for you.

I couldn't tell you if it will work, the one I received was a used one and it won't work on mine. So now I have a lens that doesn't work, just sitting here. I have a Canon Rebel EOS XT.

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

Brian, I think you misinterpreted my comment about the Canon XSi. I didn't have any problem with the camera itself, I said that Canon's kit lens is no match to Olympus kit lens/s and that I would need a lot of money to replace canon's with prime lens/s that match Oly's quality and focal range not mention the weight. I don't believe in investing in expensive lenses while using mid-range DSLR body. The cost of lens/s should be inline with the cost of the body something which I find Olympus doing better by providing inexpensive, good quality lenses even at their standard level.
