Lens Description: The Canon EF 28-80 f/ 3.5-5.6 USM is the first version of a low-end kit lens with a 28-80 mm variable focal length for Canon EOS film and digital SLR cameras.rnrnCanon issued five variants of the lens, each of which had two versions: with and without USM.rnrnThis first variant of the lens is considered to be the most successful. Its optical scheme had never been borrowed by the lenses of this series.rnrnIt features a convenient range of focal lengths, a very good optical quality, a fast ultra-sonic motor and very attractive price on the secondary market.

Dianna Yale

Will it fit on a Canon EOS Rebel T3?

John Leonard

Yes any EOS Camera

Rmarcel

Try screwing it into a EOS M3 and see what happens ;-)
As in, NO! it will not fit any EOS camera…
This is a EF mount lens so it will fit on a canon camera with a EF or EF-S mount.

Annette

Yes it will with an ef to efm adapter

Sharon

Hi, will it work on the eos M10? Or do i need a adapter?

Max Hendel

Precisará do adaptador EF-EOS M.

Rmarcel

This is a EF mount lens so it will fit on a canon camera with a EF or EF-S mount not on the EF-M mount camera’s.

Eugene Viljoen

Will it work on the Canon 650D

Will

Yes, It works with all EOS cameras.

elgol

this lens gives me 40 aperure in the far end
very good lens sharpness and contrast at 6.3 aperture and above unfortunately i have one with broken autofocus but has full time manual focus
i think is better than 28-70 ii

kadie

Is this lens compatible with the canon 60d?

Ezra

Yes. :) I think, it’s working on my 50D, i think it’ll work on 60D.

Karlo

It will work on your 60D. It works on my 5D Mark II and T3i.
