11 best ef s canon lens

Product description

The Canon EF 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Zoom Lens is a standard zoom lens designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining the compactness and lightness of previous models. Its stabilization allows sharp hand-held shots at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than otherwise possible. It consists of 11 elements in 9 groups and uses an spherical lens element to correct aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range and a circular aperture for exquisite rendering of out-of-focus backgrounds. Without a lot of size, weight or cost, this lens expands picture-taking possibilities any time slow shutter speeds are needed.

• Focal Length & Maximum Aperture - 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II
• Lens Construction - 16 elements in 12 groups, including UD-glass and spherical lenses
• Diagonal Angle of View - 74 20' - 7 50' (with APS-C image sensors)
• Focus Adjustment - Gear-driven
• Bulk Packaging Come in White box use with card

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this lens fit the Canon 750d
Answer:	Hi CAPT W. The size UV filter that you need is 52mm. I found that Nikon 35mm camera stranded lens are 52mm. However, wide angle, fisheye, and telephoto lens are different in size. For example, telephoto lens over 250mm use a 58mm filter. I hope that this helpful.
Question:	Can this be used for close up photos
Answer:	The answer is yes and no. This lens is a better overall lens than the "kit" lens that typically comes with the D3100. However, this is a prime lens which means it has a fixed focal length - no zoom. Zooming is done with your feet. The "kits lens" is usually a 18mm-55mm lens. Better for zooming, but not as good in low light, and not the same quality lens as this one.
Question:	will this fit T3i rebel cameras
Answer:	The difference between the two lenses is the focal length. I personally have both lenses in my arsenal because they are NOT the same or even that similar, as some have said. The nifty fifty, as it's known, is great for portrait close-ups. It produces creamy bokeh that is absolutely gorgeous. The 35mm can also be used as portrait lens but it won't give you anything near the beauty of the composition of a 50mm shot. Also, it's a wider angle (the smaller the number the wider the lens) so basically if you were to stand at the back of a room full of people with a 50 on and look through your viewfinder, then stand in the same spot but change your 50 to the 35, you'll find that you can see more of the room (hence, wider angle) through the 35. I recommend buying both but if you're just getting started and looking to save money, definitely go with the 50mm.
Question:	Will this fit the rebel t 5i
Answer:	OK, in all seriousness, if the question really is: "Can you use this lens to shoot basketball?", the answer is yes, if you sit on the baseline, find the right exposure settings, and shoot burst at least 3 fps. I use this lens to catch anywhere from layups to jump shots in the corner, when my team is on offense. When they're on defense on the other side of the court, I switch to the 85 1.8, which captures backcourt defense really well, but not enough depth to capture my team defending their rim.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this not compatible with a full frame camera such as the Canon 6D
Answer:	Nope, it doesn't. For wide angle lenses is not common to have that feature.When in doubt, check the coding in the name. If it has an 'IS' it means it has Image Stabilization.
Question:	I am confused about wide angle lenses...Is this a good lense to use for portrait type pics and/or as a carry-around lense, mainly to take shots of my on vacations, etc? Do wide angle lenses always cause that "distort" effect of making the image/face look disproportional
Answer:	Yes it will. If you look at the 70D you can see a white dot on the silver ring where you attach lenses. That means it takes both regular EF AND EF-S lenses. It's *the* wide lens for crop sensor DSLRs.
Question:	Already have 50mm f/1.4 on my T3. For wide-angle should I get this prime(EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM) or the EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM(~$100 more
Answer:	its a 1.4 so lets in a lot of light, alllowing you to use higher shutter speeds, as a wide angle i use it in daylight so never needed stabilisation. it is an amazingly sharp, accurate lens you will be happy, it is my favorite lens with a a6000
Question:	will it work with rebel t5i
Answer:	Hello, its an e-mount lens, so yes, it will work with the a6500.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with the Canon Front and Rear lens caps
Answer:	Yes, it comes with both caps.
Question:	Will this lense fit my canon t7i
Answer:	The Canon EF-S 55-250mm will fit and operate on the T7i. Keep in mind that the equivalent focal range translates to 88-400mm which is an excellent range for productive photography use. I use this lens often with my Canon 80D and find it produces excellent images and the AF is fast and accuarate. This lens coupled with a standard range lens and the 100mm 1.8 prime lens makes for a very useful lens kit.
Question:	Is this lens manufacturer-refurbished or seller refurbished? If Canon-refurbed, how long is the warranty
Answer:	Mine was a Canon USA refurb with all of the Canon refurb paperwork. Also, when I registered my lens on the Canon USA product website, it showed it as a Canon USA product, like lenses I purchased from Canon USA refurb before.
Question:	Will this fit my Canon T-4i
Answer:	Yes, the Canon EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 STM fits all Canon crop sensor cameras (EF-S), including the Ti-Rebel series. It is an excellent lens for the price.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this work with a 6d
Answer:	I'm sorry but no, it won't. The 6D is a full frame camera that uses Canon EF lenses, it can not use EF-S lenses like this one. The bad news is that for the 6D there are no real budget options for a lens in this focal range. I would suggest looking into the 17-40mm F4L USM if you need something in this focal range that isn't the most expensive. At the moment, it's 500 USD, but commonly is more like 750-800 USD. There are thrid party lenses available that might be more budget friendly, but often they are manual only or have spotty AF.
Question:	Is this the same lens that canon retails for $249.00? How can you offer the same new lens for such a low price
Answer:	It is the same. However, the usual retail price is very misleading. No one should ever buy this lens at it's full retail price. It is bundled with all new camera that are above the base models like the T6 or T7 (those have an older version, the IS II). People are constantly offloading them on ebay or facebook, or really anywhere. I have seen them as low as 30 bucks, but usually more like 50. The only difference here is that the one that is 249 is the retail packaging and the ~90 dollar one is the bulk "white box" packaging. You will get a 1 year warranty with the retail box version. The bulk box, you might, you might not. Likely will still get it. Even if not, it's such a cheap lens it likely won't matter anyway. If you already have the older version, then I wouldn't even bother with the new one, since it would be a better idea to put the money into a lens that can add something new to your kit instead. If you would like more info about the 18-55mm lens, you should check out the review I have on my profile. It covers the pros and cons, offers advice for how to use the lens, and also has a list of other lenses that I recommend to new users. There are also sample images taken with the lens, and an explanation of why you shouldn't pay the full retail price for this lens, as well as an explanation of why you probably don't need it if you have the older IS II model.

Question:	Just preordered this instead of 18-135 stm because this one has full time manual focusing. Is this a great deal
Answer:	Both the 18-135 STM and 18-55 STM is "Focus-by-wire" (that is, the connectuon between the focussing motor and manual focus ring is electronic), thus both of them have "Full time manual override". Actually any USM/STM Canon lens has " Full time Manual focus overrude" feature. If that was your reason consider 18-55 then you did not gain anything. But, considering another point, though the 18-135 covers more focul length regions (thus have a longer zoom ratio) but the 18-55 produces better quality photos in terms of clarity and sharpness. I have used both of them. The 18-135 is a good choice if you have a single camera body and do not want to switch lenses while bei g outdoor.
Question:	what is STM
Answer:	STM is the focus motor that this lens uses. There are a few different types... STM - Stepper motor. Made to be silent in video mode, so that the lens can't be heard on the camera mic. It also works in still mode, though isn't the fastest. It works well, and is fine if you track continuously, but for sports and wildlife it can be a little slow. Usually found on the more budget friendly lenses. (under 500) USM - Ultrasonic motor. Very fast focus for stills. Works for video, but is noisy for this purpose. It's almost silent for stills. Most commonly found in the more expensive "L" lenses, or other high price lenses (500+) Nano-USM - Their newest focus system. It combines the snappy fast focus of USM and the silent video focus of STM. Best of both worlds, for the most parts. Only a few lenses feature this focus, but I would bet there will be more. Lenses that feature it tend to fall into the mid-range in price (500-1000). DC Micromotor - This sometimes is labeled as "Ultrasonic", but it's misleading. It's probably the slowest and least accurate focus Canon made. They stopped using it once STM was developed. Most the lenses that used it were discontinued, but the IS II version of the 18-55mm, 55-250mm, and the 75-300mm lenses still use it, and those can still be found in bundles for cheaper cameras like the T6 or T7. If you would like more info about the 18-55mm lens, you should check out the review I have on my profile. It covers the pros and cons, offers advice for how to use the lens, and also has a list of other lenses that I recommend to new users. There are also sample images taken with the lens, and an explanation of why you shouldn't pay the full retail price for this lens, as well as an explanation of why you probably don't need it if you have the older IS II model.

Question:	Will this lens be good for soccer and football when on the sidelines
Answer:	This is a subjective question. For the most part, it's not a sports lens. The AF system is not really built to be snappy fast for sports. However, if you are photographing young children, I think it can work, since they are not likely to be as fast as high school aged kids. Also, the limits of the aperture make it hard to use fast shutter speeds without a high ISO, so you will get some noise in the images. If this doesn't bother you then it's not a big deal. If in good light (daylight), then it will be fine so long as you know how to track your subject. For football at night, it's going to be tough. I would look for the bright spots on the field, like where the lights shine the brightest, and try to get photos in those places. Here is how I would set the camera. 1. Tv mode. This lets you control the shutter. Set to 1/500 sec. 2. ISO and aperture are controlled by camera. Make sure ISO is in auto. 3. Set focus to "servo" mode. This makes it so the camera tracks as you hold in the focus. 4. Select a small focus. Depending on your camera, you might have to use just one point. Some will let you choose a small grid. 5. Get focus on your subject and hold the focus to track them as they move around. This will give the STM motor time to find the focus. Shoot when you have the best shot. This is how I shot youth soccer with a SL2/200D and the 55-250mm IS STM. Got plenty of good shots. I'd post them in my review but it is now against Amazon policy to do so. Not sure what happened there, they are just youth league kids playing soccer. If you would like more info about the 55-250mm STM lens, you should check out the review I have on my profile. It covers the pros and cons, offers advice for how to use the lens, and also has suggestions for other lenses that might work for you as well. There are also sample images taken with the lens.

Question:	Would this newer STM lens work well with my EOS T2i I am using the older EF-S 55-250 now that's about 5 years old and looking for faster focus and sharper images....wondering if maybe the 55-250 IS 2 would work just as well as the STM for me...Thanks
Answer:	Great question. Some answers for you... It is a better lens than the older IS II model in the following ways: Better optics for better IQ and contrast. Rear focusing so the front element doesn't rotate. Better IS. STM is better than the DC micro motor; it's faster, more accurate, and nearly silent. The focus isn't as fast as say, USM lenses, but you will notice an improvement. If speed of focus is more important in your case, then you should look into the EF 70-300mm F4-5.6 IS II USM instead. Optically, they have very similar IQ, but the 70-300mm has much snappier focus for stills, and is still silent for video like the STM lens. As to how much a difference you will see on your camera? The T2i is a pretty old camera, and IQ wise think you won't see much of a difference. Either of the suggested lenses will look good on your camera, but you might not see a large difference in overall IQ due to the age of the sensor. I think the advantages are that you will see better contrast, have better focus (which leads to more in focus shots), and if you ever move to a newer camera then you will see a difference in IQ with a newer sensor. If you would like more info about either of the lenses I have suggested, you should check out the reviews I have on my profile. Both reviews cover the pros and cons, offer advice for how to use the lens, and has suggestions/comparisons to other lenses you might have considered. There are also sample images. Here are some links.

Question:	Hi
Answer:	The short answer is yes to both questions. The little bit longer answer... 1. It has image stabilization, and for Canon you can tell what lenses do as they will list "IS" in the description of the lens. On this lens, you have 3.5 stops of IS, which is really great since it has such a long reach. Keep in mind though that IS does nothing to help with a moving subject, only a fast shutter speed can help with that. 2. Your camera can use this lens, as well as all other EF and EF-S lenses. This is one of the 4 lenses I suggest to anyone that is learning photography and wants to expand their kit beyond the lens that came with their camera. If you would like more information about the 55-250mm lens, you should check out the review I have on my profile.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with neck/shoulder strap
Answer:	The camera have no accesories nor lensesjust thee body
Question:	Can i add on mic attatments to this camera
Answer:	It will, and it will go into DX mode automatically, which is nice. But you won't be getting the full benefit of the camera with DX lenses. Over time you should plan on migrating at least some of your lenses to FX. Expensive, but worth it.
Question:	Will my current cannon (ti# camera) and tamron (2014) lens fit the ti
Answer:	Great question! I would not spend the extra money on a more powerful lens. This is really a good starter camera but the good thing about Nikon is that most lenses will interchange into a newer better camera!!
Question:	What exactly is included in this kit? There’s no mention of what’s actually included
Answer:	If you are like me, then your budget will rule. Also, what is the intended purpose? If you want stunning full screen photos on a high def monitor, then this might not fit that bill for you. If you just want to take pics, aren't too worried about having something that is magazine quality, and want to some printing for family and friends, the D50 does well.BrianS says that by today's standards, this camera is obsolete - I wholeheartedly disagree. That would only be true if by "today's standards" you mean the best there is. If BrianS is a digital camera/macbook geek, than the D50 wouldn't do well for him. That might not be your standard.Here is why the D50 is not obsolete - I use a 35mm Canon EOS 3, and with the lens I am using, I can print off photos with resolution that will make many newer 15mp DSLRs look like crap. So, no, the D50 is not obsolete.Also consider one last point - a DSLR may have 21mp capacity, but if the sensor that captures that information is not high quality, then the image, despite it possessing all those megapixels, will not be as high of a resolution as a DSLR with an professional grade sensor but only 15mp.Bottom line, if you take photos only recreationally, are not a gear geek, and can find it for a good price, then get the D50.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a plastic housing and lens? Or is it metal / glass
Answer:	The lens elements are glass, and pretty good glass at that. The housing and even the mount are made from plastic. The mount is polycarbonate, a nearly indestructible plastic. The lens is so light I doubt it will ever make any difference; to break it you would have to do something that would also break your camera. If you would like to see a comparison between these two lenses, I have a review for the lens on my profile. It gives the pros and cons, offers advice for how to use the lens best, and also does the breakdown with the 10-22mm.

Question:	Will this lens work on a Canon Rebel EOS t3i? Thank you
Answer:	This is an older question but I feel this info is important so I am posting an answer anyway...Yes, your camera can use all EF and EF-S lenses. Keep in mind that this is what is known as an Ultra-Wide angle lens (UWA). If you are not familiar with this type of lens, I suggest that you do some reading on the best ways to use one. Here are some general tips just in case…1. Distortion effect – UWA have a special way of bending light from a large element down to the sensor, which results in barrel distortion. The easiest way to describe this is that is has a funhouse mirror effect. Near objects will appear very large, far object will seem to shrink. If you understand how this works, you can use it to creative effect. Some of the negative reviews for the 10-18mm and the 10-22mm are from people that clearly did not understand this.2. Specific purpose – UWA lenses are made with a specific purpose in mind. They excel at taking in broad landscapes, buildings, large machinery, etc. They are not good at portraits or general photography. They are meant to compliment other lenses, not serve as a main lens (unless that stuff is all you shoot, which is not common). 3. Get up close – probably the worst thing you can do with a UWA is not get close enough to what you are shooting. I prefer to place something in the foreground whenever I can, something to take advantages of that barrel distortion, to give a sense of depth in the shot. If you don’t do this, then you end up with a picture where everything looks too small and really far away. It takes some practice to get good at composing with a UWA. For more info, I have a review of this lens that not only discusses its strengths and weaknesses; it also gives some reasons why it is almost always the best choice for a wide lens on APS-C cameras like yours. This includes a comparison to the 10-22mm that is also popular, but is also more than twice the price. You can find the review in my profile, if you are interested. The gist of it is that this is a really good lens for the money, and a lot fun to use if you understand its purpose. Have fun!
Question:	This one or the efs
Answer:	I know that this question was from a couple years ago, but since others see it on Amazon, and these two lenses are constantly compared to each other, I want to place an answer....1. Focus range - the 10-22mm has a slight advantage in length; 22mm versus 18mm. But you aren't buying an ultra-wide to zoom in on things; you are buying it to catch wide views. They both go out to 10mm, so in my opinion the range is mostly a wash, especially since they are both EF-S lenses, which means crop sensor only, which cuts down on your overall field of view. They both give a framing similar to a 16mm lens all the way wide, which is still pretty wide.2. Focus Motor - The 10-18mm is STM, the 10-22mm is USM. This comes down to how you intend to use it, and even what camera you own. If you want to use your lens for video capture, then the 10-18mm is the only way to go. This is because the STM motor is virtually silent in video mode, and offers a smoother focus for this type of photography. The 10-22mm USM is likely a faster focus, but because of the way it hunts for focus, it is not good for video capture, since every time you switch between subjects it will start to hunt for focus again, which is not attractive to the viewer of your video. It also is fairly noisy, and from what I hear that noise will be picked up by the mic. If you have a T3i or older, then STM is not supported in video mode, but all EOS cameras will support STM in still mode. If you are using for stills only, then the USM has an advantage if you are using the lens to capture action shots, as USM tends to be better at that, but STM is still pretty quick and also a good focusing method. I can't really see someone using an ultra-wide for action shots though, so this might also be a wash, unless you need the faster lens. (More on that in a second)3. Aperture - The 10-22mm has this category hands down. Both have variable apertures (meaning the more you zoom the less light gets to the sensor), but the 10-22mm goes from F3.5 to F4.5, while the 10-18mm starts at F4.5 and goes to F5.6. This means that with its USM motor, at F3.5 you will achieve faster shutter speeds than the 10-18mm. So as I was saying before, the 10-22mm is the faster of the two lenses, if that is what you need. As an added "advantage", it will also be better in low light (though still not great, more on that later). I think the real advantage here is if you are using it by hand, you will likely have fewer issues with handshake, but then, the 10-18mm has IS, and the 10-22mm doesn't.4. IS - So, let's talk about image stabilization. The 10-18mm has it and the 10-22mm doesn't, so the 10-18mm is the winner here, sort of. One common misconception about IS, is what it actually does. All it does is it counteracts shaky hands at slow shutter speeds. It does NOT affect your subject; that is dependent on your shutter speed. Once you are at 1/320 sec on anything but a long zoom (like the 55-250mm), then hand shake is less of an issue. If you are at 1/1000 sec then IS is useless to you. It might even be a disadvantage, since the motor takes a split second to activate, and can even give the appearance of shakiness since the shutter will catch the movement at that speed. If shooting action, you won't need IS. If shooting in low light, IS might not be enough to help you. And if you are using a tripod, you won't need IS. I use the 10-18mm, and I rarely use it off the tripod. So, this category is dependent on how you will use the lens. I can't recall using the IS on my 10-18mm even one time. I would bet it is useful for video capture (probably why it has it to begin with), so if that is your aim, then the 10-18mm is still the winner of this category. Another thing I want to point out here is that the IS can compensate 4 stops. So, theoretically, you can shoot at a slower speed and f-stop than the 10-22mm and still not get blur. Between these lenses, this is a very big advantage, since this is the more likely scenario you will use one of these lenses for. 5. Price - Without a doubt, the 10-18mm wins here, as it is half the price of the 10-22mm. And at less than 300 USD, it is also affordable by all but the most frugal of photographers. Is the 10-22mm worth the extra cash? Only if you need a slightly faster, zoomable, ultra-wide lens. There are faster prime lenses, but they are all EF lenses, and therefore much more expensive (the 14mm F2.8L is over 2K), and there aren't a lot of options at the ultra-wide when you factor in the 1.6x crop factor of APS-C cameras (many of them are 35mm, which is not very wide on crop sensors). The only zoomable ones that are faster are also EF mount, and have all the same issues. For APS-C, the 10-18mm and the 10-22mm are pretty much your only practical choices at the Ultra-wide range. Crops just aren't made for wide shots, but that being said, I've gotten some great shots with my T3i and 10-18mm, some of my favorites actually. With either of these lenses, you can get pretty wide on your Crop camera. 6. Sharpness - I don't have the 10-22mm to compare, so I can only say that the 10-18mm makes some pretty impressive images for an inexpensive lens. I've not had any issues getting what I want from it. I do try to use it in the situations it is best at, from a tripod, with the lowest ISO and shutter speed possible to give good exposure. If you go to the digital-picture website, they have a tool called "lens image quality", where they have a comparison between 2 different lenses. It's handy, and lets you compare across the zoom range, at different apertures, from different cameras. On these lenses, they are both pretty comparable at 10mm across the whole range of apertures. At 14mm and 18mm, the 10-22 is sharper at wide open (but still not very sharp), but at F8 and on they are pretty much the same at the center, and both get a little soft in the corners (common issue on wides). I feel they both will produce good quality pictures that are comparable to each other, with the 10-22mm being just a slight bit sharper at wide open across the whole zoom range. But since you will likely stop down for better sharpness and better depth of field, this is pretty much a wash. So, how does it all add up?In my opinion, the 10-18mm is the better choice for most people. The 10-22mm has advantages in specific situations, like low light and action shots, but then, in all those situations a crop sensor camera with a wide angle lens is not the best choice. Low light is done better with full frame cameras; action is better when you can zoom in more. And since neither of these lenses can mount on a full frame nor zoom in very far, then I feel it comes down to 2 things; sharpness and price. The 10-22mm has a slight edge in sharpness at its full aperture, but that is negligible. If you are using in good lighting, for landscapes or architecture, then you are shooting at a smaller apertures anyway, to increase sharpness. The 10-18mm is just as good in those applications. When you factor in that it cost half as much as the 10-22mm, then really, it is the better choice. If you are interested, I have a review of the 10-18mm in my profile that further discusses the pros and cons of the 10-18mm, and uses a lot of this same information to help people make a more informed decision over what lens to buy. And once again, if you plan to shoot video, the 10-18mm is the only real choice between these two, since the STM and IS are BIG advantages over the 10-22mm in video mode.

Product description

Incorporating Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology, this Canon 55-250mm telephoto zoom lens captures long distance, low-light shots far better than many comparable lenses, helping you photograph the far-off action of athletes or zoom in for an intimate portrait with a blurred background. The high-zoom-ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses). More significantly, the image stabilizer effect creates an equivalent shutter speed of roughly four stops faster than the same size lens without an image stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you can hold a 250mm lens steadily is normally 1/250th of a second, this Canon lens will let you hand-hold shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. The lens also boasts a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration to create excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. Delivering an excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers, the 55-250mm lens carries a one-year warranty.

This telephoto zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness, in response to demands of photographers. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses), and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. This new EF-S telephoto lens with great features delivers excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit on the 70d
Answer:	If you like to use it as a wide angle converter, you have to use both together. If you want to use it as a macro concerter, you separete the two parts and use only the macro part.
Question:	Will this work on the 80d
Answer:	A lot of money! Seriously, tho, I am a very amateur photographer and no judge of these things. I bought it on a whim because it was so cheap. I've been very happy with the pictures I took with the lens, but have not compared its pictures with the better lenses. It does not replace the Canon's basic lens as the more expensive one probably would, but goes OVER it.
Question:	Any advice on what lens to buy to take shots across soccer field
Answer:	Yes it does, Depends on the Lens you use and how you use it.on the 18-55mm when you zoom out under 24mm, youll get some vignetting and optical blur.On the 50mm its not bad.
Question:	Is this a "macro" lens? I needed a lens for microscopic detail
Answer:	Yes, just make sure it's the right size.. It screws on to the front of existing lens. I love this lens.

User questions & answers

Question:	t3i
Answer:	Hello,50D is compatible with EF lenses so I don't see why not. I have a 6D. Feel free to ask any other questions. It's ready to ship today if you are interested.
Question:	I have a longer lens than is mentioned. Will this lens hood work for my EF-S 18-135 mm IS STM less on my Canon Rebel T5i
Answer:	Yes, and no! My Canon converters are first generation, so I cannot speak for compatibility with later generations of converters. My 1.4x TC will mount on the lens ONCE THE LENS IS EXTENDED BEYOND 50 mm. At shorter focal lengths the lens' rear element is so close to the mount that there is no room for the protruding part of the converter to fit inside the lens barrel. (As a practical matter, though, I see no reason why anyone would use a converter at shorter focal lengths.) At 300 mm the combination will fit and it will autofocus on my 5D III, since that camera will autofocus at an f/8 effective aperture. Wide open the combination is soft. but at smaller apertures the images become sharper. With my Gen.1 2x TC interesting things happen. Since the lens is not intended for TCs, the converters are invisible to the camera and the lens will focus at an effective aperture of f/11. Focusing with the optical finder is slow, but with live view on a 5D IV things happen faster. The images are certainly useable, although they are not up to the sharpness of the EF 400 mm with the EF 1.4x TC. I also tried a non-Canon 7 elements 2x TC, which was also invisible to the camera. But the camera would only autofocus in live view mode, not using the optical finder. On the other hand, since this TC does not protrude into the lens body the lens can be used at all focal lengths. So, with an understanding of the limitations of the various TCs the lens can be used with a converter!
Question:	would this fit my EF-S 18-135mm IS STM lens? its the same as the 55 its just the 135 version
Answer:	This lens will work with any of the Canon EOS cameras. Keep in mind however that your 70D is a crop sensor body so the actual focal range of this lens on your body will be roughly 44mm - 480mm in a 35mm equilavent. This lens is also very heavy at 3.7 pounds. I can comfortably shoot it handheld on my 1Dx but it does get real heavy after a short while. For long events you would want to have this beast on a tripod or a monopod. Overall it's a pretty nice lens.
Question:	Would this lens hood work on a Canon T3i's kit lens? (Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS II) It isn't STM, would it still work
Answer:	Yes, it does. Its a great lens for APS-C sensor camera for the focal length.
