I am a novice photographer (sports &amp; outdoors mostly). Just traded for Canon T3 &amp; looking for lenses to exiperiment. Will this fit &amp; what does it do?

It should fit. It's a threaded mount and comes with an adapter for either Nikon or Canon cameras depending on which version you order. It's a telephoto lens, but not a zoom, so you only get the one level of magnification. It doesn't have auto focus capability and will only work in full-manual mode, so it's not really easy for a novice to use. It can be fun for experimenting, but can also be quite frustrating to use. For a little bit more, you could get a 70-300 zoom lens that would be much more versatile.

I had the t3i to begin with and it is FINE for most photography. I take a lot of action shots...football, basketball, track and volleyball... and they were not very sharp with the t3i. The t5i is much better for my needs. I use the lens that came with the t3i for my t5i and also bought another telephoto lens. So my answer would be that it depends upon what you are going to use it for.

From what I understand you can, I have the T3. I believe they make all of the lenses interchangeable.

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.

Hi Michael! I have a Canon T1i. So far, I have the standard lens that comes with the camera, a marco and 300 mm telephoto. I've done some portraits that turned out great, but I'd love to do more wide open spaces/landscapes.

Yes! Just make sure to get it in canon mount. Also because your t3i is a crop sensor the lens will behave more like a 36mm

I am a teacher and have a new Rebel T2 at school and an old 20D at home. Every canon lens I've ever seen works on both. I'm 99% sure that it would work fine on a T3. It's a great lens, by the way. If you are looking for a prime lens for portraits, I highly recommend it.

We have the rebel and the rebel t3i and it fits both cameras. I would assume it would fit the t3 also. It is a great lense and I would not trade it for anything.

I assume your lens has a canon mount. I would think that it would fit and work. However, I am not that well versed in this, so I will tell you how I handle all such related questions. I called Canon and asked them. They are the experts.I hope that is somewaht helpful.

It works very well on my Canon 7D, so it should work fine on your Rebel T3. Just made certain that the lens you buy has the Canon mounts on it. Sigma makes the 18-250mm with mounts for several brands of cameras.

Your old 28-80mm kit lens will work on the Rebel T3 or any other Canon DSLR for that matter. The 28-80, however, isn't very good optically (its easier to see this on a digital SLR), has no image statbilization and won't seem wide enough on the T3. Non-pro DSLRs use sensors that are somewhat smaller than 35mm film cutting off part of the image giving you a narrower view than you're used to with that lens. For these reasons, make sure to get the 18-55 IS kit lens with the T3.

Shouldn't be to much of an issue... Here is a great resource http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/T3/T3A4.HTM to quote them "Like other Canon DSLRs with sub-frame sensors (currently, the Canon Rebel XS, Rebel XSi, Rebel T1i, T2i, T3i, EOS 50D, 60D, and EOS 7D), the Canon Rebel T3 will work with pretty much any EF-mount lens ever made, as well as with the special EF-S lenses designed for cameras with APS-C size sensors."

No. The t3 uses the eos mount system, and will accept any canon ef/ef-s lenses. If you'd like to use fd lenses, you may purchase an fd to eos adaptor on eBay for as low as $30. Hope this helps.-Aaron

Yes i have a canon t3 and the t3i and there isn't much of a difference between the two so you should order it and it will work for you

Yes, I have a T3 and it works perfectly. My co-worker has a T2i. She has used my lens on her camera as well.

Lenses that fit a T3 fit my T1i. I've not tried this lens on a T3, so y.m.m.v. because of the weird focal lengths, but always expect vignetting and distortion, and remember to turn off auto-focus.

Good question for one of the camera stores, my instinct is yes as I have 6 various canon lenses and all their Slr's not just digital are cross functional , I believe a t3 body is about the same as the original rebel, but double check if not returnable, the lens is xpensive but my favorite
