Hello, IÂ´d like to buy, but IÂ´m not an expert. Could you explain how it works on a T3i and EF-70-300mm F/4-5.6 IS USM? Please, I apreciate your help

Yes it does work on t3i using a 75-300mm F/1:4-5.6III lens you'll get 1.4X increase in zoom, must have a red dot on the lens to work. I'm satisfied with my Kenko C-AF 1.4X Teleplus Pro 300 with the shots I've taken.

It will increase MM by 1.4x (70mm x 1.4 = 98mm) and you lose 1 stop of light. So 70 f4 becomes 98 f5.6. 300mm f5.6 becomes 420mm f8.
1391763
What it does is, it will extend your lens' zoom by 1.4X. Meaning if you mount the Kenko 1.4X pro into you T3i, your 70-300 mm becomes 98-420mm (70x1.4=98, 300x1.4=420mm). However, you maximum aperture of f/4 will drop to less tha f/4, possibly f/5.6. Please take note that Canon T3i has a APS-C sensor, so your actual zoom would be longer than 98mm-420mm.

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.

It's an improvement if you have a T4i, T5i, or 70D. Otherwise, you will likely get less than satisfactory performance. These new generation models have the compatible features for both the EF-S lens type--where it's closer to the sensor--and STep Motor technology for quick and virtually silent autofocus. But don't expect it to perform to specs or even as well as your older lenses if your camera body is not one of the three listed above. If you used it on a 5D Mark III for example, it would be noisy, the focus would stutter a bit, and slow.

I have been using both the EF70-300mm/4-5.6L IS USM and the EF400mm/5.6L USM lenses. I mostly do birding and other animal photography, as a hobby. The EF70-300mm/4-5.6L IS USM has more flexibility in ranges and the image stablization is deffinately a plus. The EF400/5.6L USM dosen't have the image stablization, but has the longer range and can be used with the 1.4x and 2x extenders, while the EF70-300mm/4-5.6L IS USM is not listed as compatible with either extender. I find both lenses produce good quality pictures. Usualy I use either a monopod or tripod. I have not used the 70-300 IS NON-L so I do not know how it compares with the others.

Hello! I have this same issue but with my Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, so i guess uit was because the engine inside has a little problem and can only be useful in amanual mode. By any chance did you try to rotate the lens while you were on Automatic mode? Because that causes a rupture in the mechanism inside, if the problem is from the beggining then ask the dealer if it can fix it, otherwise use it in manual, it actually improves the quality pf the photos!

It works with the t3i so it should work with the t3. Auto focus does not work with this lens, it is manual focus.

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.

Aaron D. Locke has nailed it - get an adapter. They have some here on Amazon that are available with Prime. Be sure to read the reviews. BTW, I use my husband's old FD lenses from his AE-1 on my micro 4/3 camera, and I'm enjoying them greatly.Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter, Canon FD Lens to Canon EOS EF, EF-S Mount Camera such as EOS 7D, 5D, 60D & Rebel T3Opteka Canon FD (Manual Focus) Lens to Canon EOS EF (Auto Focus) Body Mount Adapter with Optical Elements Aaron D.

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

Yes works great! This is the best lens for the t5i. I bought several and this is by far my favirote. For the price it cant be beat.

I know M= Mirrorless, however is there some sort of "Adapter or a Converter" to use this particular lens for Canon EF -EF-S Format EOS 70D or 6D , or 5D Mark lll ?, I saw this lens sold in a "Bundle Kit with 70D ! Thanks

Yes; I am not a canon expert but this was purchased for a photography class in a crime scene program for a university. Yes, to my knowledge it will work on a T3i because we have T3is, T4is, and T5is. I find that most Canon lenses are interchangable with all 3 of these as well as some of the higher end cameras like the 60D and 70D. It appears that Canon is good that way.

I have this lens, I used it for several months before upgrading to the 75-300 IS USM. If you don't want blurry pictures then you will have to spend the money on better tools. I take a lot of bird pictures and was able to track them using the non IS lens but it was very difficult and unless the pools where the competitions are held are in bright light you won't get sharp pictures. I did try using this one at our dance hall, (poor light for pictures) I eventually had to go to a 50 mm 1.4 that does great in low light. You wanting telephoto though, for the money the 75-300 IS at about $450 was the way that I decided to go and I really like what I get now. I have had my t2i for nearly two and a half years. Hope this helps you a little bit. If you want to see a few of my shots with the IS lens. My flickr page is lightninrod49.

Works fine with my T3i and 70D using either my Canon fast-50 or Tamron 17-270. If you're using a non-Canon lens, make certain its mount is for Canon. Yes, the contacts are there.

I've totally forgotten since I sold mine with my long lens. Sorry. I can say that it worked well with both my 300mm 500mm.

Of course, all the rebels can use EF and EF-S lenses. I had an XTi (which pre-dates the T2i) and it could use it. If your camera has a red dot it can use an EF lens. I am certain it does. And this lens is a steal -- $200 off retail just because it comes in a bundle with a cheap UV filter. Why? No one knows, but $200 is $200!!

I had no trouble using this lens on a T4i. Fits and works great. I think it's also sold as a standard kit lens with both T4i and T5i.
