Sigma 70-300 DL ? will this fit a digital SLR

[Borats Baby]

Will a Sigma 70-300mm DL lens fit a DSLR ?

Specifically a Canon 400D.

The bloke says it will fit 35mm EOS cameras, but NOT DSLR's.

I had it in my head that EOS lenses were EOS lenses ??????

Am I right or wrong ?

Am I right or wrong ?

Both

It probably will fit but Sigma reverse engineers the electronics to make the lens work with the body. As a result some of the older lenses won't work with the newer bodies. I suspect this one will give err99 at anything other than maximum aperture setting.

All my tokina's work perfectly with my Canon 30d but be very careful when purchasing anyhing older.
