Would I get all of this lens' benefits over the IS II with a T3i?

Yes, the benefits of this lens are that it is silent and light. Build quality is not robust like an L lens but this lens performs exceptionally well for the size and price. It is an APS-C mount so it was designed to work with a T3i. Because it operates silently - zoom and autofocus - it is suitable for video. Hope this helps answer your question.

As far as I know from the t4i on there was a change in the motor of the cameras but the lens has a motor too. So my advice would be to try it on a store before buying it. I can tell you that with my camera (t4i) this lens is way faster focusing than the 55 250 IS II.

You would get all the improvements in this lens using the T4i, T5i or 70D since they have the compatible hardware (new AF focus system). However, you will feel the difference in speed with the STM lens. I've got both lenses, the II IS and the STM. I'm definitely happy with the STM lens mounted on my T3i.

Yes the mount fits perfect, also you have a 1.6x multiplier because of the crop factor of the smaller sensor of the T3i. It gives you the equivalent of a lens of 800mm and 1600mm.

I don't know if the lenses will work with the T3i but I can tell you I am quite happy with my lense and the picture it takes for baseball pictures. for the money you cant beat it..

Yes, it will work, although since the T3i is a crop sensor camera, it will photograph at 56mm rather than a true 35mm.

The T4i is worth it. The new processor, plus the touch screen and video recording time of up to 29:59 minutes are amazing. My advice is if you can afford it, make sure to buy it with the 18-135mm STM lens instead of the 18-55mm non STM. Matched with that lens this camera can effectively compete with some of the more expensive ones. I would get this instead of the T3i

The T3i is a great camera but a lens really makes all the difference. I use this macro often on a crop frame 7D similar to your T3i and had the opportunity to use it on full frame cameras too. It's fast, quiet, and the IS is fairly new (1 year old) and defiantly worth having especially on a higher focal length of 100mm. I would say this is one of my more popular lenses I enjoy.

I have the T3i and I have no problems with it at all. It works with both of the lenses you just asked about. It works perfectly for me.

Yes, the T3I is a 'crop sensor' so the true focal length will actually be 45MM on your camera. This is almost a 'true-to-life' focal length (50mm is the perfect general purpose lens). The lens is sharp, fast and works great for landscape for indoor photography. I highly recommend this for the REBEL series cameras.

Yes. This lens will find itself very welcome on a Rebel t3, as well as t3i models.

Many say the 75-300 isn't a very good lens but I disagree. I own one and have excellent results with mine. I also own the t3i and it's an excellent camera for both stills and video... now that I have it I won't go to any other... why? The t3i has everything I want in a camera.

I have a T3i and it worked with my old lenses. Everything goes manual but the lenses work.

I realize your question is now 3 yrs old, but I may still be able to help someone else. My favorite lens for my T2i is the Tamron 118-270mm. Talk about versatile. I have the Canon 50mm and a zoom along with the standard kit lens, but none compare to the Tamron...no more changing the lens so often.

It got some features that T3i lacks, Like touch screen, more frames per seconds, Digit 5 processor, more iso, fastest focus, even when it have the same crop sensor 1.6, if you can afford it, go for it.

I would say no. While using a similar 55-185mm on my T3i, I was getting vignetting the more I zoomed, starting around 90mm. I would have to recheck since, I've only used it twice, and the last time I touched it was late June.

Yes it is, I bought this lens to mate up with my T2i, but sold the t2i and bought the T4i

I had an EPL2, the II kit lens and the wide angle lens, which twisted on for the right fit. My suggestion is to buy the II because the wide angle is that good, inexpensive and sure is useful. What to do the I lens? either keep it, give it away or sell it.

Yes, I use it with a T3i all of the time with stunning results. The 70-200 is my best absolute lens.
