I get confused between EF and EF-S lens. Will this lens work for a Canon 5D Mark ii?

Hi Joe, David is right, The EF-s lenses can be made cheaper, the reasoning is they don't have to worry about the quality covering a Fixed Focal sensor.

The EF-S lens will only work on some of Canon's cameras, The EF will work on your 5D MarkII, the EF-S will not.

I contacted Adorama Camera and asked this specific question. The following is their reply:Should work, however please contact mfr @800 421-1141 to be certain I called the number and left a message, but unfortunately I haven't received a return call yet. My photography teacher has a set of these that he has let me borrow to experiment with, and his box, unlike the picture on Amazon, specifically states that they can be used with EF and EF-S lenses. I will let you know if/when I hear back from the manufacturer.

This is a Pentax K mount type lens. The Canon 500D is compatible with EF-S and EF lenses. There are several Pentax K PK Lens to Canon EOS EF adapters from different manufacturers for under $30. I cannot tell you the quality of these adapters, as I have not used adapters. The lens itself is one of my favourites.

It is an EF lens and will work on any Canon DSLR. Canon makes two kinds of lenses: EF and EFS. The EFS lenses are made for their crop-sensor cameras and fit deeper into the body and will interfere with the mirror in a full-frame body. The easy way to tell is if there is a red dot or a white square, EF and EFS respectively. Red dot will work on any camera. White square will only work with crop-sensor models and will damage the mirrors on other bodies.

This lens will work with all Canon DSLR's including the EOS SL1. This lens, all Canon EF (not EF-S) lenses actually, work with either crop-frame sensor bodies (of which the SL1 is an example) or full-frame bodies such as the 6D, 5D series, or 1D series. Canon EF-S lenses, on the other hand, are designed specifically for crop-frame bodies and, depending on the specific EF-S lens and body, may not work with full frame bodies. So, in a nutshell, this lens will work fine with the SL1. In addition, because the SL1 is a crop-frame body, don't forget that the focal range of the lens gets multiplied by roughly 1.6. On a full frame camera it behaves exactly like a 28-135mm zoom would have back in the 35mm film days, but on a crop-frame body it is 'really' a 45-216MM lens, a plus if medium telephoto is useful to you.

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.

Is this the lens you are asking about? Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II SLR LensIf so you would need a 58mm filter. This one will not fit.

Yes. All EF mount lenses will work on both EF and EF-S mount bodies. However, when an EF mount lens is used on an EF-S body, there is a 1.6x crop factor since they use smaller sensors, so this 24-105 on an EF-S body such as the 70D will look more like a 40-170mm.

Yes, all technical aspects of this lens will work on the 50D. It will auto-focus, it will fit on the 50D's housing, it will take pictures... all EF lenses will "work properly" on all Canon DSLR cameras. HOWEVER, the real magic of this lens IMO can only be achieved on a full frame sensor (e.g. 6D, 5D, 1D) which will yield the best bokeh. If you're willing to spend 2 grand on this specialized of a lens, why not go for a full frame body too?

This adapter is EF/EF-S on one side, EF-M on the other. The EOS-M requires an adapter because the sensor plane is in the wrong location for a normal EF or EF-S lens. This has no glass - it's only an extension tube to put the sensor plane of the camera in the correct location for use of a full size lens. The back of this adapter is an EF-M mount and has completely different dimensions from both EF and EF-S. I don't know of an adapter that will allow older Canon cameras to accept the newer EF-S lenses.

It will not work with your kit lens. There are no teleconverters which will fit EF-S lenses.

EF-S and EF type lenses will work with the Canon T3. Here's a link with pictures to show the difference between the EF-S and EF lenses:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF-S_lens_mount

If the camera takes EF or EF-S series lenses, no problem. Check your owner's manual, the 'Net, or the Canon site for that information. Like the above posts said, make SURE you get an adapter for the ***T2 Rebel***.

Look up the specs on your camera. It must say "eg-s". If it only says "EF" then no. That was my issue and I had to return the lens.

Not sure about ef-s because that lens is made for crop. However, 100f2 should be no problem. Have yet to have a compatibility issue with an EF lens. However... sometimes my 100 macro won't go to f2.8, sticks at 4. My 85 and 50 Let won't go down to f1.2, but it reads f1.3.

Yes, this lens will work with any Canon EF mount body, the SL1 included. Taking the crop factor into account, this lens will be closer to 40mm (38.4mm to be exact) than 24mm.

Thanks, what about using the adapter for EF lenses? Would this work or does the adapter only work with original Canon lenses?
