mmcp42 - you truly are a wise old man..
Good luck on the weekend..

flyer - as the old one says, if the lens has a canon mount, then it will fit..

So. if it is off a canon camera it should fit..i think its off a 35mm slr.
not a digital..
Cheers

aha more data
it will probably work at maximum aperture
but may give ERR99 if you try it stopped down

it depends how old the lens is

some can be re-chipped by Sigma
some can't (or at least they won't do it)

so - give it a try - at full aperture and stopped down

just phoned my friend ..
he said the camera the lens is off is a canon eos 500n
what do you think
cheers
