Plan is to have one for my 18-55mm and 55-250mm - at its longest extension, is this ideal for the 55-250 as well? - Thank you for your time.

I agree with the other comment. At the end of your extension you will pick up a little of the shade in the view, but you can always either back off the zoom or collapse the shade. This is problematic with pretty much all shades. There are times I have made use of this problem to take a shot with darkened corners caused by the shade to get a "burned corner" effect in the shot - especially interesting with fish-eye lenses.

I feel it might be a little long for the 55-80mm ish range, but definetly appropriate for anything longer. Keep in mind you can keep it collapsed for the shorter ranges if necessary.

I'm sorry but I have not used it yet. I love the fact that it can be so compact, have tried it on both lenses for size, but as yet have not taken any photos.

Worked on by 18-55mm perfectly. Not sure about the 16 because I don't have it, but I'm pretty sure they're the same diameter so it should work for that too.

Kathryn, Canon do not list your lens as being suitable to use with either of their extenders. If you need to go longer (well over 300mm) you'd need to find another lens, either zoom or fixed, depending on the type of work you do. Good luck. Jeff

Yes, as you zoom from 55 upward to 250, the lens extends. However, unlike the previous version the front does not extend during focus.

Sorry for not getting back to you. But I don't know. I assume you have searched online for an answer. The 55 mm size is not that common for a "normal lens"; 49 and 52mm are more common. For larger lenses, frequently 58mm and sometimes 72mm. I would suggest that you visit a camera shop and try on some lens caps. Best Buy and places like that sell lens cap replacements but mostly the common sizes. Assuming you don't find an correct answer, you will at least know it is larger than X and smaller than Y which should be good info.

With a 18-55, tight fit (flap enclosure will just make it); anything larger, no. An 18-200mm lens attached will not fit.

Mine was ordered specifically for a 58mm lens and fits great as well as works great. The quality is good when used with another macro lens such as the kit 18-55mm however it will be unable to produce images with a 75-300 mm lens these are the only two I have so it may work with others. As far as MM you need to look at what the manufacturer states it is compatible with. Like I said I bought mine for a 58mm. I hope this answers you question, good luck.

I have the canon T3I. We used this rail with a follow focus and a matte box. It works with the 18-55mm lens, but not quite long enough for the 55-250mm lens. The follow focus I glued an O-Ring to the follow focus gear, to friction drive the lens directly (without a gear on the lens). It also increased gear diameter to be able to flip the follow focus gearbox closer to the camera and therefore leave room for the matte box.

Hi! It wont work with your 18-140 mm Lens, I got 18-105 mm lens which fits perfectly but It wont work with 140mm, Im sorry

I've been using a 50mm and it's been working great. A 40mm would be too small.

I figure it probably would. It screws on like a filter to your already existing lens. So, just order it with the adapter for the lens size you need. The regular lens I use is a 58 mm, and when I ordered this, I made sure to order that size so you get the right adapter ring. Then, u just screw it right now. If you have a 55mm, just order THAT size. It's cheaper & more portable than an actual full fisheye for SLR. It's great for using in winter, and autumn, breaking up too many strait lines, and is great with city landscapes, especially winter, and in gray-scale. It also gives a great GLASS refraction look to the light, and gives unique distortions to your images. Great if you want a macob, dark, or Goth look, and many others. Experiment frequently.

It fits on the lens just fine but is too long to use at only 55mm zoom. It will show up in the shot. It's fine at maybe 75mm on out.

I use this with my T4i/650d 18-135mm STM & it handles effortlessly. I don't have 250mm STM so can't answer that but don't see an problem as this is an fantastic grip. I use with my Manfrotto 055xPro so it's very nice combination.

I haven't confirmed this yet, but from everything I've read the 52mm is what you should be using for the 18-55 lens.

I use it on the fuji 18mm to 135 mm and it is not a problem. I can't really say what it would do with the 55-200mm lens.

Hello - I bought this adapter thinking it would fit those lenses - and it didn't. I have both the 50mm f/1.8 and the 28 mm f/2.8 - both didn't fit b/c there's a metal stub at the bottom that does not allow it to mount on the adapter. The only lens I had that fit was the 75-150mm lens.I wouldn't buy it.

I used it with 18-55 kit lens and it fits perfectly. You should check it with your lens open diameter at the end.
