Is this lens compatible with the Canon 70d? I keep seeing conflicting reviews.. I really want this lens!

It works fine on my 60d. So should work fine on 70d. It is slower to focus than the Canon version. Mine is very sharp. Mine does not have IS, but that does not bother me. I think it is well built, and the price cannot be beat for a 2.8 zoom. If lack of IS and USM do not bother you, it is a great lens.

Yes it is compatible with the 70D. I popped this lens on my friend's 70D and we did not see any compatibility issues.

Tamron told me there is a firmware update that must be installed to work well with the 70D. It was just developed about two months ago. Any lenses made before then will need the update installed. I just sent me lens to Tamron this week for them to update it. Up to this point I could only take a handful of pictures at a time before it brought up an error message telling me to clean the contacts on the lens or camera (can't remember the exact wording). I'm hoping all is well when I get the lens back this week.

No, I use this lens with a 70D and it is full manual. It doesn't communicate with the camera at at all.

It looks like this one is for Nikon. They make one for Canon, I own it and it's amazing. Absolutely love this lens.

I have the 70D with the 18-135 STM lens and find its a perfect all around lens, clear and sharp. Focuses perfect and fast and completely silent for videoing. You can't go wrong with this lens.

I've never heard it not being compatible with any of Canon's DSLRs. It is a fantastic lens.

I am sorry, but I am not really sure. I do know that for myself, I would not buy it if it is not listed as compatible. All I could find was a Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G AF Nikkor SLR Camera Lens and it is really at a great price right now, (with only 1 left in stock, so I say grab it while you can!) you can always pick up the rest of the the accessories later, they are really not all that expensive and with the price I found on that lens.... it's probably going to be less than what I paid!! Good Luck!

Honestly, there are some available on ebay with buyer protection (but I understand why you would want to get it from the above places instead). The 70-200mm is a great lens, but if you have your heart set on this particular lens you should wait to get this one :) I just ordered one from ebay but I did my research on the seller first.

Yes, this lens does fit all of the Canons and even the 70d. Be aware that while I am very happy with this lens and it's versatility, be aware it is no a vibration compensation lens from Tamron. This means until you get used to it, you will notice that your pics will not be as sharp especially at the lower shutter speeds. Hope this helps

It should be compatible with all Canon mounts. I don't know whether the 40D has IS, so you may want to double-check that before buying. It will still work and might be worth having for future compatibility (I had an IS lens with my 20D for a long time, but wasn't able to use IS until I got my 7D).

i bought that lens for my d7000 and had great success with it . i gave my daughter the camera and lens and since have bought the d800 and liked the lens so much i bought it again for that camera . with that said i recently sold that lens and am in the process of getting the newest nikon lens the 80-400mm . to sum up my reply great lens but its my understanding that because of the wide range the sensor area is always affected but should work fine when used on your d700...i believe this lens is a great buy

What version of the 24-70 are you referring to? If you do not need f2.8 then I would steer you to the new f4 version that has IS. The 28-70 is an old lens no longer supported by Canon and you will find it difficult to find someone to fix it if you ever have problems.

I just purchased a Canon 70D a couple months ago and am happy to say that I have used the camera with this rig. It works great with it! Make sure you get your shots all in focus and everything before you take the picture or shoot your video with your Canon.

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.

Not 100% sure... but it looks like you can... I checked www.Lenshero.com and it does show up as compatible... http://lenshero.com/lens/Canon-EF-24-70mm-f2.8L-II-USM-lens

Yes; This lens is a really great buy to work with a D7000. There are some focus issues with D7000, but it could be resolved by fine tuning. I've been using this combination for the 4th year now.

Just make sure you select the right manufacture. For example if you have a canon make sure you buy the lens for the Canon body. With that said this is an all around great lens
