does this lens work for canon 500d? I am thinking of buying "Opteka .35x HD&sup2; Super Wide Angle Panoramic Macro Fisheye Lens for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XS, XSi, &amp; T1i Digital SLR Cameras" but i was wondering if this lens fit my camera?

How does the macro fit on the camera? The fisheye part threads on but doesn't take focused pictures, the macro and fisheye doesn't seem to have any way to fit on? This came with NO instruction manual so I'm at a bit of a loss.

I bought this lens for my Canon Rebel and it works wonderful. People are amazed at how clear and up close the pictures are. I love it and am so glad I found it. Good luck to you!

I'm using Sigma lens on my Rebel T4i. I bought them for my Canon Rebel XT years ago. These lens have Canon mounts on them. I didn,t get enought time with this camera to see if it is as good as the older Rebel

Hi, i'm sorry, but i've never used the canon lens. I use the fuji lens on an xt1 but the af is quite slow, it isn't the best quality of the lens.

Hi, The description of my sale was, "NIKON VERSION: It looks great but I don't have a camera that it fits. I bought it on Amazon for a Canon EOS but it is meant for Nikon cameras." I had the same issue you did, which is why I marked it down and why I was clear to point out which mount it worked for. As far as I can tell, the lens was made with various mounts for most cameras out there.

I need help deciding on a new lens for my Canon XSi. I have the 18-55mm that came with it and also a Sigma 100-300. I use the camera for high school sports and need something that gets good close up pictures when I'm not close.ThanksCR

Yes, this works with a Rebel T3. It's a decent all-around lens, but my experience is that it isn't quite wide enough (I shoot underwater mostly), and macro doesn't let you get quite close enough. It's also poorly constructed. I've had 2 and with both I had a problem with the zoom freezing up. Seemed to be a matter of a screw loosening and jamming things up. If shooting on land, I would consider the Canon 15-85mm or the Sigma 17-70mm.

Question is do all 5D models use the same diopter,...my impression is that the 5D and Mark II models use the same diopter size, but the 5D Mark III might be different. Best to contact Canon and get the real info. My Seagull did not come with any adapters. To be quite honest I've switched to using my android tablet (connected to the camera via USB) to view live images now. Still the seagull is handy in a pinch.

Just purchased Canon T2i and am looking for a telephoto lens to shoot the family surfing vacations. Any suggestions???Thanks.

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.

Hi All, very interested in these postings but still can't get this lens to work with my D70 in M or AF. I too get fEE message displayed and shutter won'r fire, even after locking off at f22 etc. Starting to wonder if its a camera setting or am I missing something?

Yes. That is a standard EOS mount. This lens is made for full frame, so on an APS-C sensor (as in D50) it will feel ~1.3x longer (~117mm) and you will only be recording the center of the image circle. Great lens! And you can keep it if you ever move up to a 5dMKII or III.... Obviously, make sure to buy it in Canon EOS mount.

you seem to know alot Technology guy, so im replying to ya about a lens choice. Its the CanonEF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS for a 50D im purchasing but im not sure if its compatiable or will fit should I say, Because the 50D says its a EF mount and the rebels are EF-S mount. but since they say the 50D dont come with a lens that can take the use of the full power of the camera I wanted to get something I can afford and that lens i mentiond above is less than 300 usd. So please let me know if it works on the 50D without any problems thanks.

Christine I also own a Rebel XTI but I have the canon 28-135mm and the Tamron 28-300mm lens. The only thing I can say is that I am considering the Canon 430EX or the Canon Speedlite 580EX II. I suppose that it will depend on how fast we plan to shoot action shots. Just to let you Know, I am new to this digital SLR stuff, but I have been using 35mm equiptment for 30 years and the issues facing me now did not apply with my old stuff.

Hello;I do hope my comments are helpful. On your kit or stock lens which usually is a 15 x 55 zoom lens the threads on the lens are a 58 MM and no adapter I needed. Most full kits from Canon also have a 55 x 200 MM Lens or a 75 x 300 MM lens both are zoom lenses and both have a 52MM thread; which would requires the adapter that comes with the DLSR MC AF 0.45 X Wide Angelw/macro. I use many different lenses. But for this one I like most on my 18 x 55 MM lens because I can get the fish eye effect as well. Also allows very close; closeups. On the higher 200 MM or 300 MM it provides a wider field of view and great for higher resolution closeups!The optics are very high quality as well!Good Luck; Randy Hello;I do hope my comments are helpful.

I didn't know that any lens was designed for a particular kind of sensor.The size of your sensor will determine the results of course.I've been using it on my T3i and it looks fabulous.

I have the EOS 600D camera. It works very fine with this. Searching on the web, it seems like the lens also fit into the XS 1000d camera. Although, I would either check it first or ask in a photoshop or perhaps ask Canon, at canon.com. If it fits, and you buy one, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoy my lens. Best regards
